The horse racing picks experts at Bodog Racebook have Summer Bird listed at 10 to 1 Belmont Stakes odds. Summer Bird has caught the eye of several of the horse racing picks experts that were polled by Sports-Odds.com. Summer Bird is trained by Tim Ice and will be running out of the 4th Post Position. Jockey Ken Sesormeaux gets the mount.
“Can't say I'm thrilled with the work tab and trainer Tim Ice changed the colts' shoes in his last work because he didn't think he was taking to the track, which is a terrible sign,” stated VegasInsider.com Horse Racing Picks Expert Anthony Stabile when asked to comment on 2009 Belmont Stakes odds on Summer Bird. “He's one of those that doesn't really excite me, though he might be able to take advantage of the fact that most of these probably don't want to go this far. He'll be moving late but will need the others to be backing up to have any chance at getting a share.”

“No doubt he has a Belmont Stakes pedigree and a running style that should keep him chugging along the entire 1-1/2 miles,” stated Horse Racing Picks Expert Jeremy Plonk of HorsePlayerPro.com about Summer Bird in his Belmont Stakes column on ESPN titled Countdown to the Crown: June 4, 2009. “Extremely wide trip at Churchill makes him a horse who probably deserved better in the Derby. On the flipside, I'm not wild about him being sent back home to Louisiana Downs and hopping all over the country. Since arriving in New York, his works were a bit flat, especially late, not picking it up like you'd expect a closer of his stature. Very mixed vibes, and I'd only use third or fourth in tris and supers.”
