Dullahan has made the most favorable impression of any of the 12 Belmont contenders since Saturday. He worked a half-mile in 45.82 as easily as possible under his new rider, Javier Castellano, on Sunday with plenty left in the tank to shade 59 seconds for his five-furlong gallop out. Better yet, he has not missed a beat since that work, with his long and very energetic gallop session here Wednesday about as good as it gets.

Please bet on him to win.  It will make me feel better.

My reservations about Dullahan are that he has never won a race on the dirt, may well turn out to be a better horse on grass, and that his third-place finish in Louisville may have looked better than it was. While he was beaten only 1 3/4 lengths by I'll Have Another, the Derby winner expended more energy early staying within striking distance of Bodemeister, and Dullahan essentially did his running when the race was over, passing tired horses down the stretch.

Steve Crist. I am off Dullahan.

I like Dullahan, his times show he may be getting used to this surface--which is not one to easily get used to. But a wet track is not ideal to prove he can run on Dirt.
