Post 3 – Madefromlucky
Jockey: Javier Castellano
Trainer: Todd Pletcher
Owner: Cheyenne Stables LLC and Mac Nichol
Madefromlucky has a history of close finishes with American Pharoah, having finished second to the Triple Crown contender at the Rebel Stakes in March and finishing 4th behind him at the Arkansas Derby in April. But this will also be Madefromlucky’s first major race in quite a while as he did not appear at either the Kentucky Derby or the Preakness. Though he will certainly be among the most well-rested horses at Belmont, it’s hard to really gauge if he’ll be able to handle the competition.
Jockey Javier Castellano has never won at the Belmont but owns a Preakness victory with Bernardini in 2004.
Trainer Todd Pletcher has experience with the Belmont, having turned the filly Rags To Riches (2007) and Palace Malice (2013) into winners at the long track.
Predicted Finish: 7th
