Belmont pick for Thursday (6/17)

Question

1-for-1 last Thursday with VELVET SISTER ($6.80), who won by 9 3/4 lengths.

Belmont - Race 1

#3 JUGGLER (9/5 ml)

Shorter half of an uncoupled entry for Kelly Breen, this unraced 2yo out of the good stakes filly Alpha Kitten (who won her own debut) worked 3 times in a row with older 4yo allowance horses, prior to working a couple of times with his entrymate SILVER SAMURAI. Seems a pretty good tip-off as to which of the two horses is more highly-regarded. Short morning line in this 6-horse field, but JUGGLER is actually listed as the second choice here behind even-money favorite COINAGE. Figures to run well here, and should offer a bit of value.

Wrong on this one. It was actually SILVER SAMURAI who challenged the heavy favorite COINAGE early. JUGGLER broke slowly and was never involved.
