Live from Belmont Park, welcome to our coverage of the 141st running of the Belmont Stakes. Unlike last year, there is no official Triple Crown on the line, but Calvin Borel has a chance at a personal Triple Crown and could become the first jockey to sweep the series aboard different horses. As always, send us your comments and questions. Our updates will become more frequent as post time approaches at 6:27 p.m., and we'll be with you for a while after the race has ended.
