Only 11 horses will race in the 2014 Belmont Stakes and one of the longshots is Commissioner. The 2014 Belmont Stakes Odds for Commissioner have been set at 20-1 on the morning line.
A Todd Pletcher horse, Commissioner will begin the Belmont Stakes from the eighth post position and be ridden by Javier Castellano. Commissioner has been up and down this year according to horse experts, but when included in a decent race with solid competition, it has done well. Commissioner placed third in the Sunland Derby and has won two races overall in seven total starts.
The best stakes finish game in the Grade 2 Peter Pan back in May at Belmont Park, which was won by Tonalist.
Which horse will show up in this race? Commissioner lost by more than 10 lengths in both the Arkansas Derby and the Fountain Of Youth, where it took sixth place overall. Does the horse have the overall class to run with the best or is it just an average horse with the Pletcher name behind it?
We aren't entirely sure that Commissioner has what it takes to win this race and spoil history. It might be worth tossing in on exotics, but picking a horse to win the race has some better options on the board.
