Fast and soft on closing day at Belmont with only race 4 off the turf.  Listed 5 winners yesterday with 2 on top and managed a $412.50 pick 3 in races 5-7.  Still didn’t consider it a good handicapping day and will try to do better today.

In race 9, Banrock (#10) will once again be a heavy favorite against statebreds on the turf, but is not worth the price.  I’m looking for Kutais (#8) to be close to a slow pace and post the upset. I’m keying him in doubles and pick 3’s and playing in an exacta box with Banrock and Pennington (#4).  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 2 and 4

Race 2: 5 and 8

Race 3: 5 and 4

Race 4: 2 and 11

Race 5: 7, 2 and 4

Race 6: 3 and 1

Race 7: 7, 12 and 4

Race 8: 5 and 3

Race 9: 8 (Best Bet) with 4 and 10

Fast and yielding at Keeneland with a huge pick 6 up for grabs as the races continue to be impossible to handicap   Only  3 winners listed yesterday, 1 on top, and all my best bets lost.  Will try to be better today!

In race 8, Graham Motion sends out Caprice (#2) in this 1 1/2 marathon on the turf.  In a race devoid of any early speed, Caprice may hold a tactical advantage over Black Mamba (#11) and Winter View (#1) and is my pick to hold off the closers in the stretch.  I’m keying in doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with the others mentioned.

In race 4, Eighteenthofmarch (#5) handles turf or synthetic surfaces and trainer Wayne Catalano is due for some luck.  I’m keying in doubles and pick 3’s with Richland Creek (#2) and playing an exacta box.  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 4 and 7

Race 2: 5 and 1

Race 3: 11 and 7

Race 4: 5 (Best Bet) and 2

Race 5: 11 with 2 and 6

Race 6: 3 and 4

Race 7: 7, 6 and 11
