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
