Named for one of the all-time greats, this Belmont race will be run at Aqueduct on the turf.

It's G2 and over 2200m which suits the raiders especially the two Godolphin runners who are part of Charlie Appleby's American campaign.

They are Nation's Pride on 8/5 with Frankie Dettori riding and 3/1 for Silver Knot with Flavian Prat in the irons. We have a slight preference for the latter.

Christophe Clement has a couple of former French horses and the best of these is expected to be Kertez, with Joel Rosario riding.
