Chris Fallica of FOX Sports Belmont Stakes 2023 Expert Picks & Predictions

Forte (+220), the horse famously scratched the morning of the Kentucky Derby, finds himself the favorite to win the Belmont Stakes. Fallica of FOX Sports is fading Forte in head-to-head and exchange wagers. The two horses that Fallica likes are Tapit Trice (+400) and Hit Show (+1000).

Tapit Trice (+400)

Tapit Trice was sired by Tapit, a horse that has produced four Belmont winners —  Essential Quality, Tonalist, Creator, and Tapwrit. Tapit Trice is one of two Todd Pletcher horses in the field, the other being Forte. Despite a seventh-place finish at the Kentucky Derby, Fallica believes Tapit Trice is in great shape and primed to have a good trip.

“Of the two Todd Pletcher runners, I prefer Tapit Trice to Forte as I have fewer doubts about his racing shape. He should be grinding away at the leaders and has a great chance of winning this race,” Fallica said. “If you’re looking to make a bet on one horse to win, Tapit Trice would be the wager for you, as indicated in my betting card.”

Hit Show (+1000)

Running out of Gate No. 7 is Hit Show, Fallica’s second pick to win the Belmont Stakes. Despite a poor trip, Hit Show finished fifth at the Kentucky Derby. Fallica notes that Hit Show continues to get faster in each race, and his stalking running style suits him well on this track.

“The running style best suited to win this race will be just a nice forwardly placed or mid-pack trip, so you are never out of touch with the leaders,” Fallica said. “Either Hit Show or Tapit Trice will be your winner. If you want to place a Win-Place wager, look no further.”
