Updated Belmont Stakes news
Rags To Riches is trying to make history as the first filly to run in the Belmont this century. The last female starter was Silverbulletday in 1999 who finished seventh. The last female to win the Belmont was Tanya in 1905. Rags To Riches will be ridden by John Velazquez. Her regular rider, Garrettt Gomez is already commited to ride Hard Spun and can't get out of the obligation. Interestingly enough, Rags To Riches is sired by AP Indy, the 1992 Belmont winner, and is a half sister to Jazil, last years Belmont winner. I would say that gives her the right pedigree to win the Belmont Stakes herself! C P West is a late addition to the lineup with Edgar Prado as his rider. The latest list of Belmont possible starters is:
CP West
Curlin
Hard Spun
Digger

Rags To Riches
Slew's Tizzy
