Think “Fast” And You’ll Be Smart “Enuf” To Hit The Late Double At Belmont (6/26)
Jun 26th, 2009 | By mircon1 | Category: Belmont, Today’s PicksFast and good at Belmont today with all the races remaining on the turf. Assuming there isn’t a monsoon later, let’s focus on the last two races on the turf.
In the 8th race, The Perfect Sting, let’s key Fast Tigress (#8) in the first leg of the double. Even though it’s a wide open race, John Kimmel’s filly may have a class edge on these and may get a decent pace to run at. Play her in exactas also with La Rocca (#3), Strike The Bell (#6) and Dame Ellen (#2).
In the 9th race, a very competitive 7 furlong turf sprint, Smart Enuf (#9) may be the smart bet. David Donk’s horses are all running well on the turf and this is the second start off a long layoff which has been a good angle in the past. Use him in doubles and in exactas with Tobruk (#5) , a very consistent horse who always runs well. Here’s the whole card and good luck!
Race 1: 4 and 6
Race 2: 6 and 7
Race 3: 4 and 1
Race 4: 12 with 2,7 and 9
Race 5: 2 and 8
Race 6: 2 with 3 and 9
Race 7: 2 with 7 and 6
Race 8: 8 (Best Bet) with 8, 6 and 2
Race 9: 9 (Best Bet) and 5
