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

Sloppy and off the turf in another horrible weekend weather day at Belmont.  In race 8, The Iroquois on New York Showcase Day, Silvercup Baby (#11) does her best running on wet tracks and can get a good stalking trip from an outside post at a good price.  I’m playing in doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Afleet Alexandra (#12) and Sweet Lorena (#6).

In race 4, an off the turf race at 7 furlongs, Bill Bear (#11) towers over the field and should be your key in doubles and pick 3’s.  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 10, 6 and 7

Race 2: 4 and 1X

Race 3: 6 and 3

Race 4: 11 (Best Bet) and 10

Race 5: 11, 6 and 8

Race 6: 2 and 6

Race 7: 7, 4 and 10

Race 8: 11 (Best Bet), 12 and 6

Race 9: 11 and 4

Race 10: 6 and 5

Sloppy and off the turf again at Belmont.  In race 8, an “off the turf” event at 1 1/16 miles, Starship Angel (#8) handles the wet going and is the only one in the field who can get the distance — I’m keying in doubles and pick 3’s.

In race 2, James Wilfred (#6) can capitalize on a fast pace and get up to post the upset.  I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Unwritten (#3).  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 3 and 4

Race 2: 6 (Best Bet) and 3

Race 3: 4 and 6

Race 4: 3 and 6

Race 5: 3 and 5

Race 6: 13 and 9

Race 7: 6 and 1

Race 8: 8 (Best Bet) and 4

Race 9: 7 and 4

Race 10: 10 and 1A

Started with a real bang at Keeneland in the first 3 races.  Had a $69.60 exacta box in race 1, had the winner in race 2 with a $94.40 double and had the exacta box in race 3 for $257.50!  Also had the triple box for $872.60 and the pick 3 paid $3814.80.  Ended up listed 6 winnners, 3 on top, and almost had a flat bet profit for the third consecutive day.  If only my horses in races 6 and 8 won instead of running second, it would have been an incredible day, but I’m not complaining.

At Belmont, it was a terrible card with all the scratches and wet track.  Managed to have 3 winners (listed 6), and had consecutive doubles and pick 3’s in races 4-7.  But the prices were small and missed the pick 6 when I didn’t list the winner in race 8.  Oh well, back on Sunday!
