Muddy and yielding with races 1,2, 4 and 11 off the turf for the Saturday card.  Even with the bad weather, we still have a tremendous card featuring several grade 1’s and some of the best horses in the country.  However, the track condition will have a great effect on the card, especially in the early races where young horses meant for the turf will have to navigate a wet main track.

In race 7, The Grade 1 Vosburgh, Trappe Shot (#8) is 3 for 3 at Belmont, loves a wet track and gets a great stalking post — should win unless someone gets away with soft splits.  Key in all multi-race wagers and play an exacta box with #3.

In race 8, The Grade 2 Kelso, Jersey Town (#1) loves the mile distance and moves up over wet ground — should run down Uncle Mo (#3) late at a decent price.  Key in all multi-race wagers and play an exacta box with #3.

In race 10, The Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup, Drosselmeyer (#5) loves Belmont and gets back to main track — superior wet track breeding and will get overlooked in the wagering.  Key in all multi-race wagers and play an exacta box with #3.  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 13, 11 and 2

Race 2: 4 and 12

Race 3: 5 and 4

Race 4: 12 and 9

Race 5: 1 and 8

Race 10: 5 (Best Bet)and 3

Race 11: 14 and 16

Fast for the Sunday card but we lost all the turf races due to bad weather the last couple of days so stick to football today.  Listed 5 winners (2 on top) on Saturday, but I need to do better today with this uninspiring card.

In race 1, Tempest Storm (#1A) towers over these on paper and should win this on or just off the pace — key in all the early multi-race wager and play an exacta box with #7.

In race 7, Akilina (#7) has run well on dirt in past and may be overlooked in this off the turf affair — key in all doubles and pick 3’s and play an exacta box with #9.  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 1A (Best Bet) and 7

Race 2: 5 and 3

Race 3: 3 and 6

Race 4: 3 and 13

Race 5: 6 and 5

Race 6: 10 and 15

Race 7: 7 (Best Bet) and 9

Race 8: 15 and 6

Race 9: 2 and 5

Race 10: 15 and 9

Muddy and no turf racing on a wet Saturday in NY, but the races remain competitive and there may be some decent prices for those who can handle the track.  In race 9, The Grade 2 Gallant Bloom Handicap, Tamarind Hall (#4) was beaten by Tar Heel Mom in The Ballarina but is 3 for 3 on wet tracks and can sit a perfect stalking trip off the inside two and win this at a decent price — key in all doubles and pick 3’s and play an exacta box with #6.

In race 6, Mine Over Matter (#4) has done well in one turn races at a mile or more, likes Belmont and gets an off track — may be a decent price in this well matched field.  Key in all doubles and pick 3’s and play an exacta box with #’s 3 and 2.  I also like races 1 and 5.  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 10 and 5

Race 2: 3, 6 and 2

Race 3: 9 and 6

Race 4: 6 and 5

Race 5: 14, 16 and 9

Race 6: 4 (Best Bet) with 3 and 2

Race 7: 1 and 9

Race 8: 16 and 13

Race 9: 4 (Best Bet) and 6

Race 10: 14, 8 and 15

Fast and firm for an uninspiring Sunday card — lots of chalk yesterday and it doesn’t look like much fun today either.  I think I’ll concentrate on football.

In race 6, Decennial (#3) likes the Belmont turf and cuts back to a sprint with a fast pace scenario — key in all doubles and pick 3’s and play an exacta box with #’s 4 and 7.

In race 1, Take a Walk (#6) fires every time and claimed by good outfit — key in early double and pick 3 and play an exacta box with #’s 3 and 2.  Here’s the entire card and good luck!
