Answer 2

The Belmont is between 6:00 and 6:30, so tune in at 6:00 pm and you will see it.

Betting Big Brown to win, place, or show is pointless because he will pay around $2.60 to win, $2.40 to place and show. Not worth it, if I were you I would play a trifecta for a few bucks using Big Brown in 1st, Casino Drive and Denis of Cork in 2nd, and those two with Tale of Ekati in 3rd.

I expect the race to come Big Brown, Denis of Cork, Casino Drive, Tale of Ekati.

Answer 3

The 6:00 to 6:30 answer is eastern time.  For central time it's an hour earlier (approximate post time is 5:30 central, 6:30 eastern).  ABC starts coverage at 4pm central (on June 7).  

I can't help you with your bets.  I still haven't decided who I'm going to bet.
