The following tables display information about the 2012 Belmont Stakes entries.  The first table includes the entry's post position and morning line odds,
EFH (Experimental Free Handicap) ranking; the sire; the sire's AWD (average winning distance in North American open stakes); the sire's AWD in
dirt and AWS races only; the sire's %C (percentage of progeny open stakes wins at the classic distances of 9 1/2, 10 and 12 furlongs); the sire's sire line;
the dam's sire; the dam's sire's AWD; the dam's sire's AWD in dirt and AWS races only; the dam's sire's %C; the dam's sire line; the bloodline cross
(P = Phalaris, NP = non-Phalaris); Dosage figures and known connections.  An asterisk (*) after the AWD indicates an AWD sample size of less than five. 

The second table displays lifetime PFs of the contenders in all of their graded stakes races plus 2012 non-graded stakes and other selected races.

The last table presents a variety of pace parameters for the contenders in 2012 prep races at at greater than a mile on dirt or a synthetic surface.  In addition
to the horse, race, track, date and distance, we have included the slope, intercept and correlation coefficient derived from linear regression of the horse's
fractional and final times.  These are followed by unadjusted Brohamer-type pace numbers and, from the linear regression, predicted fractional times up to
12f (unadjusted), the predicted turn time in a 12f race (12fTT) and the predicted last quarter mile fraction in a 12f race (12fLQ).  Following 12f is
Adj12f which is the projected 12f time adjusted for the differences in track speed between the track on which the prep race was run and Pimlico.  The
various pace parameters are described below the table.

Note that because of unresolved questions related to the pace characteristics associated with all-weather surfaces, pace parameters for races
on those surfaces are shown in italics in order to differentiate them from those for races on dirt.  At this point, it is left to the reader to decide
the significance of these figures on the two different types of surface. 

All columns in the PFs and PACE PARAMETERS tables are sortable by clicking on a column head.  The original format can be restored by refreshing
