Great analysis, but now the horse doesn’t show up.  Oh well, use Backseat Rhythm (#5) in today’s 9th at Belmont.  See my previous analysis.  Good luck!

If the Grade 2 New York (Race #9) stays on the turf at Belmont, Dress Rehearsal (#4) will give her best performance when it counts!  This Irish Bred filly, trained by Bill Mott, loves soft turf and will get a contested pace to run at chasing Criticism (#3) and Dynaforce (#6).  Key her in exactas with Backseat Rhythm (#5) and single in doubles and pick 3’s.

In race 8, a state bred allowance, I have a very positive response to Early Response (#7),  my pick to run down William Thomas (#5), who faces pace pressure and may wilt in the final furlong.  Here’s the entire card, and remember all the races are off the turf except the 9th so play accordingly!  Good luck!

Race 1: 9 with 11 and 1

Race 2: 2 and 7

Race 3: 6 with 1A and 2

Race 4: 2 and 1

Race 5: 10and 8

Race 6: 7 with 1 and 6

Race 7: 7 with 9 and 10

Race 8: 7 (Best Bet) and 5

Race 9: 4 (Best Bet) and 5

Race 10: 7 with 15 and 16

Trying to muster up some excitement about today’s racing at Churchill, but having a difficult time with a mediocre card.  Still, the 10th race, a competitive turf allowance, is a betting proposition worth getting “hyped up” about.  Todd Pletcher’s Hype (#2) should be sitting on a big race.  Second start off a layoff, he ran a good second at churchill last time over a turf course with some give in it, moves inside and should get the job done.  I’m using him with Constabulary (#7) in exactas and singling in doubles and pick 3’s.  Here’s the whole card and good luck!

Race 1: 4 and 1

Race 2: 6 and 3

Race 3: 3 and 1

Race 4: 2 (Best Bet)

Race 5: 5 and 1

Race 6: 7 and 2

Race 7: 4 and 8

Race 8: 6 (Best Bet) and 8

Race 9: 6 and 3

Race 10: 2 (Best Bet) and 7
