The odds, as of 6 p.m.:Empire Maker, 7-2

Funny Cide, 4-5
Dynever, 7-1
Ten Most Wanted, 7-1
With less than an hour until post time for the Belmont Stakes (gr. I), Funny Cide is the 4-5 favorite of the wagering public. It goes without saying New Yorkers want to see the New York-bred gelding become racing's 12th Triple Crown winner.Many fans early in the day purchased souvenir tickets, something that obviously has helped keep his odds low, but Funny Cide is a solid choice to become the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978.Empire Maker is the 7-2 second choice, and as post time nears, the odds of those two could get a bit closer. Many experts believe it is a two-horse race between Funny Cide, who won the Kentucky Derby (gr. I) and Preakness Stakes (gr, I), and Empire Maker, who ran second in the Derby and bypassed the Preakness.
