Belmont Stakes
Not much reason to get excited about the Belmont but there is money to be made. The Belmont is almost always won by one of the top two horses or a bomb with a freak Tomlinson figure (e.g Birdstone). The pedigree horse this year is Deputy Glitters but his Tomlinson is <400 so that angle may not even be significant. I am thinking this year is going to be chalky, any rain at all could all but seal up a Bluegrass Cat/BnJ exacta (440/404 slop Tomlinsons respectively).
Bodog has a prop I like: Winner will pay <$27.80 -350. Based on the current Pinny lines there should be a scalp there if you wanted to go that route. I'd prefer to handicap the bombs and play it like a freeroll as I think there are more than a few throwouts among the contenders.
