2015 Belmont Stakes Weather Forecast Calls for No Rain

Contrary to earlier weather forecasts, it is appearing as if the rain chances for the 2015 Belmont Stakes have diminished to 10 percent.

Early reports suggested a 50 percent chance of scattered thunderstorms, which would certainly have benefitted favorite American Pharoah.

His margin of victory in the 1 3/16th-mile Preakness on the muddy track amidst pouring rain was the largest since Smarty Jones won by a record 11 ¹/₂ lengths in 2004.

For this year’s Belmont Stakes race one should focus on horses that run well on dirt as opposed to any turf favoring contenders.
