Nashua Set to Sweep Belmont Despite Weak Field
NEW YORK. June 10. Belair Stud's Nashua is heavily favored to win the Belmont Stakes in a ten-runner race for 3-year-olds over 1 1/2 miles with a $100,000 added purse. A defeat by any foe would be an upset of turf history as Nashua is quoted at 1 to 5 and expected to draw a minus pool in place and show bets. Track officials call this Belmont the most one sided since 1920 Man O War.
