Fast and firm at Belmont today — trying to stay hot from Sunday’s card where I finished listing the late pick 4 for $221.50 and had 3 winners on top which made for a flat bet profit on the day.  Monday’s card looks like a big day for Dominguez at very short prices — so if you are to make any money you have to try and beat him on one or two favorites.

In race 5, Ricoriatoa (#7) will be second choice to Keeping the Honor (#6) with Dominguez, but has a speed advantage and can lead all the way on the turf.  I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing a big exacta box with the favorite.  No other best bets on an uninspiring card — here it is:

Race 1: 2 and 7

Race 2: 1 and 6

Race 3: 1 and 3

Race 4: 5 and 3

Race 5: 7 (Best Bet) and 6

Race 6: 8 and 6

Race 7: 2 and 4

Race 8: 8 and 1

Race 9: 1 and 6

Race 10: 3 and 1
