Fast and firm today at Belmont. Looks like any rain will hold off until late in the card and shouldn’t be a factor.  In race 8, The Virgo Libra, Hot Money (#4) looks ready to take his third straight from off the pace.  I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Strong Impact (5) who just got more dangerous on the lead with the scratch of Wicked Climb.  Here’s the whole card and good luck!

Race 1: 2 and 3

Race 2: 7 and 6

Race 3: 1 and 6

Race 4: 5 with 4 and 1

Race 5: 5 and 7

Race 6: 7 with 6 and 11

Race 7: 6 (Best Bet) and 7

Race 8: 4 (Best Bet) and 5

Race 9: 4 (Best Bet)

Fast and firm at Monmouth today.  In race 8, Proud Lisa (#3) is my pick in a contentious allowance race on the turf.  She gets a fast pace to run at, an extra sixteenth of a mile to work with and has great connections (Orseno and Marquez).  I’m keying her in doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Dwelling Place (#7).  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 5 and 6
