Answer to pace riddle may unlock Belmont prize

Tiz The Law is a heavy favorite for the Belmont Stakes.

It's easy to predict that he will win on Saturday, but it's hard to figure out who will lead him there.

Fore Left is the 11th-hour addition to the field for the first race of the pandemic era Triple Crown. His trainer Doug O’Neill says Fore Left has a lot of gate speed and a great post.

Tap It To Win is the favorite to win the race at Belmont. Fore Left is a long shot. John Velázquez is expected to ride the horse. Maggie Wolfendale Morley is not sure if he will be aggressive. She is also a seasoned rider. The horse with the most early speed will go to the lead. It's not clear if it will happen. There are many horses with different abilities. They are all in different places. Some of them are not very good at racing at a distance. A horse that is faster than Tap It to Win may be the winner. If it doesn't go for the early lead, it might be difficult for John to control the horses.
