Time to analyze the 2022 Belmont Stakes field, in post position order, in the form of Haiku; a Japanese poem of 17 syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five.

#1 – We the People
If he gets his way,
He could lead them around twice
What if he doesn't?
#2 – Skippylongstocking
Shot his Preakness shot
And he was a non-factor
A level too high
#3 – Nest
A bottled-up Oaks
Has the blood for Big Sandy
But can she keep up?
#4 – Rich Strike
It's the race they want
Will they get the pace they want?
Glass slipper fissures
#5 – Creative Minister
Meteoric rise
Has plenty of pedigree
One last rung to climb
#6 – Mo Donegal
The Pletcher playbook:
Derby, Belmont, hoist trophy
It might work this time
#7 – Golden Glider
Conjure Sir Winston
And then put that thought aside
Future also-ran
#8 – Barber Road
Outran Derby odds
You've gotta love his moxie
Honest, win or lose.
Prediction
The climb continues
For Creative Minister
Seven, one follow
