Jockey John R. Velazquez is a Hall of Famer with six Triple Crown wins -- two of which have come at Belmont. A regular among the yearly top 10 earners, Velazquez rode Sandman to a 3rd-place finish at Preakness last month.

Crudo Belmont Prediction and Pick
With a pair of fast wins in their last two starts, Crudo makes for an interesting longshot at 15-1.
While it's a lot to expect Crudo to outright win here, but they have the right trainer/jockey combination to make some noise. Given recent performance, Crudo is certainly worth a second look heading into Saturday.
