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 Picks

Fast 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
