Senior Investment has odds of 12-1 to win the 2017 Belmont Stakes with a potential payout of $120 on every $10 bet.
Senior Investment finished an impressive 3rd in the Preakness Stakes and 1st in his previous race, the Lexington.
The distance should suit him well, according to trainer Kenny McPeek.
"He looks good, he had a nice gallop this morning," McPeek said. "I'm probably going to work him just an easy half tomorrow. It's a similar routine that worked for us with Sarava.
"Anytime you can position yourself to where you've got a chance in one of these big races, it's exciting," McPeek said. "It's not easy, but he's a good horse and he's improving. I think he'll handle the distance really, really well. We're going to fire away.
"On the gallop-out in the Preakness, he made up even more [ground on the leaders] and that's kind of his style," he added. "The hard part in this race will be how the pace unfolds and whether it works for him or against him, but he's a horse that will keep going and going, and hopefully he can outgallop them."
