Hill Road Belmont Prediction and Pick
Hill Road is certainly a longshot, but are some things to like here. They figure to be fresh with just two races in the calendar year, and recent Speed Scores are right in line with some of Belmont's top contenders.
Though Hill Road faces an uphill battle winning Belmont, the infrastructure is there. Considering Chad Brown and Irad Ortiz's track records, Hill Road may be worth a look at 10-1.
