Fast and firm for the Friday twilight card at Belmont to start the July 4th weekend — will be handicapping all through Tuesday, so let’s if I can keep up the good work (especially with best bets).

In race 8, Hello Don Julio (#7) gets firm turf and can sit right behind Infinite Wisdom (#5) and get first run on the closers — key in all doubles and pick 3′s and play an exacta box with #’s 9 and 11.

In race 9, Rain in Spain (#9) needed last and Arroyo rides well for Kimmel — key in all late multi-race wagers and play an exacta box with #’s 3 and 5.  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 1, 4 and 5

Race 2: 3, 7 and 6

Race 3: 1, 6 and 5

Race 4: 6, 4 and 3

Race 5: 1, 8 and 7

Race 7: 2 (Best Bet) with 3 and 5

Race 8: 7 (Best Bet) with 9 and 11

Race 9: 9 (Best Bet) with 3 and 5

Fast and good for the Sunday card with only race 2 off the turf — another solid day yesterday listing 9 winners, 3 on top, plus both the early pick 4 and pick 5.  Best bets didn’t win though so let’s see if I can get back on track today.

In race 8, Slim Shadey (#1) needed last and got claimed by the right connections — likes a little give in the ground and should be a decent price.  Key in all doubles and pick 3′s and play an exacta box with #’s 6 and 9.

In race 3, Sir Bond (#5) has burned some money lately, but Irad sticks and gets a good stalking post with a lot of speed signed on — key in all doubles and pick 3′s and play an exacta box with #’s 3 and 1.  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 6, 3 and 4

Race 2: 2, 8 and 1A

Race 3: 5 (Best Bet) with 3 and 1

Race 4: 4, 2 and 7

Race 5: 7, 5 and 6

Race 6: 8, 5 and 1

Race 7: 4 (Best Bet) with 3 and 8

Race 8: 1 (Best Bet) with 6 and 9

Race 9: 5, 1 and 8

Race 10: 4, 7 and 8

Muddy for the Saturday card with all races off the turf.  Had a bad day yesterday, but best bets went 1 for 4 and another flat bet profit which has been consistent from the start of the meet, so let’s see if I can keep that going today and maybe pick a few more winners overall.

In race 1, Summer of Joy (#6) couldn’t make up ground with soft pace in last and now gets the perfect flow up front — key in all early multi-race wagers and play an exacta box with #’s 1 and 2.

In race 9, Southside Warrior (#3) gets preferred surface and a repeat of last should get the job done as the second choice — key in all doubles and pick 3′s and play an exacta box with #’s 1A and 2.  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 6 (Best Bet) with 1 and 2

Race 2: 6, 8 and 3

Race 3: 1, 3 and 7

Race 4: 7, 6 and 2

Race 5: 9, 12 and 10

Race 6: 10, 7 and 1

Race 7: 5, 3 and 10

Race 8: 3 and 4

Race 9: 3 (Best Bet) with 1A and 2

Race 10: 8, 11 and 2

Fast and firm for the Friday card — but there is rain in the forecast so watch out for any late changes.  I am handicapping as if all turf races will remain.  By the way, had a great day on Wednesday with 3 winners on top, and I listed the pick 6 (which nobody hit by the way) so I will try and keep it up today!

In race 8, Whiskey Seven (#10) needed last and had problem on the break — may start a late Linda Rice double at a decent price.  Key in all doubles and pick 3′s and play an exacta box with #’s 11 and 1.

In race 9, Dr. Koy (#5) ran great in return and was claimed by Rice — can score right back.  Key in all multi-race wagers and play an exacta box with #’s 12 and 2.  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 3, 4 and 2

Race 2: 1 (Best Bet) with 2 and 4

Race 3: 4 (Best Bet) with 1 and 3

Race 4: 2, 9 and 8

Race 5: 5, 4 and 2

Race 6: 4, 6 and 1
