Of the rumored candidates to mount Casino Drive, Yutaka Take, Edgar Prado, Garrett Gomez and John Velazquez, I see in the news that it was announced today that it will be Edgar Prado, an appropriate choice of talent I'm sure. Prado seems to have a knack for snatching Triple Crown victory from favorites at Belmont.
Aboard Sarava, a big long shot, Prado snatched a Triple Crown victory away from War Emblem at Belmont in 2002:

And aboard Birdstone, after an amazing rally in the far turn and close on the lead in the final stretch, Prado snatched a Triple Crown victory away from Smarty Jones at Belmont in 2004:
