Elmont, NY (Sports Network) - Preakness Stakes runner-up Midway Road will not be a starter in Saturday's Belmont Stakes. Trainer Neil Howard announced Monday morning that the Will Farish owned colt will next run in the Ohio Derby.
Midway Road made a big step up when running in the Preakness Stakes after winning an allowance race three weeks earlier. This year he has one win in four starts with earnings of more than $240,000.
There are seven definite starters for the 135th Belmont Stakes. Funny Cide will attempt to become the 12th Triple Crown winner and the first in 25 years. The two main rivals for Saturday's event will be Empire Maker and Dynever.

Actually, General and Mr. Judge you are correct! IF Empire Maker is 100% and he should be after 5 weeks off, hes the horse to beat! Don't be surprise to see him 7/5 and Funny Cide 6/5 ! The beeting public will probably make Funny Cide the favorite, but I think Empire Maker has the edge on rest, hell he beat him once already! Just think Dynever is a beter price for a horse in great shape Good Luck guys! Actually they scratched my original pick ATSWHATIMTALKINBOUT!
