Much of the suspense was sucked out of the Belmont Stakes when Oxbow won the Preakness Stakes three weeks ago and threw a wrench into Kentucky Derby winner Orb and trainer Shug McGaughey's plans to win the Triple Crown. The bettors will still watch Saturday's race around 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Belmont Park on Long Island, but casual fans may need more incentive. Winning two of the three Triple Crown races doesn't happen every year, and here are some rare and interesting scenarios for viewers to consider if they end up spending a few minutes watching the race.
