Speed Is Not A Priority In The “Prioress” At Belmont (7/4)

Jul 4th, 2009 | By mircon1 | Category: Belmont, Today’s Picks

Fast and yielding at Belmont.  It’s a great card, with major stakes races, so have fun betting today.

In the 9th race, The Prioress, there is so much speed that the race sets up beautifully for Be Fair (#5).  This Wayne Lukas trained filly shortens up to 6 furlongs and will be flying late and run down the speed at a decent price.  I’m using in exactas with On The Menu (#8) and keying her in doubles and pick 3’s. Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 3 and 1

Race 2: 13 with 1A and 11

Race 3: 2 with 7 and 6

Race 4: 7 and 3

Race 5: 8 and 4

Race 6: 1 and 10

Race 7: 3 with 4,7 and 9

Race 8: 4 with 1 and 2

Race 9: 5 (Best Bet) and 8

Race 10: 4 (Best Bet) and 1

Race 11: 4 with 3 and 1



Getting A Little Culture at Churchill (7/4)

Jul 4th, 2009 | By mircon1 | Category: Churchill, Today’s Picks

Fast and firm at Churchill and it’s time to add a little culture to your Independence Day!  In the 5th race, Art World (#2) is my best bet on the card.   She drops in class, cuts back to her favorite distance and gets a fast pace to run at…will run first or second at 4-1! Play her with Little Springer (#1) in exactas and key in doubles and pick 3’s.

In the 10th race, The Firecracker Handicap, the pace will be hot and set up for some late running fireworks!  I’m keying Wise River (#3) in exactas with Mr. Sidney (#5) and Passager (#6) and using all 3 in pick 3’s.  Here’s the entire card and good luck:

Race 1: 4 and 6

Race 2: 3, 6 and 7

Race 3: 2 and 1

Race 4: 2 with 1 and 10

Race 5: 2 (Best Bet) and 1

Race 6: 6, 2 and 4

Race 7: 5 and 4

Race 8: 7, 8 and 4

Race 9: 2 and 1

Race 10: 3 (Best Bet) with 5 and 6

Race 11: 4 with 9 and 3



6 Winners Listed At Belmont, 5 Winners At Churchill (7/3)

Jul 4th, 2009 | By mircon1 | Category: Belmont

Made some handicapping fireworks on the day before Independence Day.  At Belmont, listed 6 winners in a row from races 3-8!  Had 3 winners on top during that stretch and a nice $92 pick 3 (races 3-5).  Also had a $49 exacta key in race 5 and a cold exacta box in race 7.

At Churchill, I got hot in the last four races.  My best bet just missed in race 8, but if you keyed in exactas, it was a nice return.  Listed winners in races 9-11, one on top, including a $66 exacta box in race 11.  For those who like to key my top picks up and down in exactas, you had a $269 hit in race 3.  Hope you made some money and watch for all my selections at 12:30pm today!
