A quick check of last 7 meetings at Belmont -17 starters (blinkers 1st time) for two winners & one 2nd. Similar stats to that suggested by Privateer. Interestingly, Lady Knockout who won the Belmont Guineas recently at cricket score odds, started without blinkers, after racing with them previously.
