Tacitus is going to be my horse for the Belmont. I hate to pick favorites (he’s 9/5 on the morning line), but in this case, he just seems to be the right horse. Tacitus finished a rallying fourth beaten 3 ¼-lengths in the Kentucky Derby with some minor trouble and he skipped the Preakness to prepare for this race. Trainer Bill Mott is one of the best on the planet and he saw what we did. Three tough races in three months for a horse that appeared to be still learning, and it was time for a rest. He’s been training well and should get a nice trip under regular rider Jose Ortiz, who not only knows the horse, but also the track.
Tacitus has been training well, he has the trainer, jockey and pedigree, and he should be just gearing up when War of Will is taking on the speedsters. He should take over somewhere between early to mid-stretch. War of Will then has to hold off Sir Winston, Master Fencer and maybe Tax for the Belmont Exacta. The bottom slots in the Belmont Trifecta and Superfecta are wide open.
