Belmont Stakes Day

Weather is perfect and should be fast and firm. Im playing these prices and others in multis but have no time to post it all.  Quick write up. Tons of Grade 1 races. Insane!  Good Luck

Race 1  #2 Shadow Rider 8-1ml looks to get a dream trip in this short field. The favs all like racing on the pace and this 7yr old gelding loves Belmont park and will be coming late.  

Race 2  #9 Uncle Artie 9/2ml has improved since being gelded in March and should relish this two turn maiden turf route. Rosario should make one nice run late as there is some cheap pace entered.

Race 3  #5 Majid 6-1ml has rounded into a real race horse and should be the pace setter. Takes a huge step up in class against these but this isn’t a stellar stakes field. If #6 doesn’t go with him early its over

Race 4  #7 Got Stormy 6-1ml should sit right off the fav #4 early and wouldn’t shock to get her late. This mile has very little pace signed of so the #7 will get a ideal trip and she is coming off career best effort.

Race 5  #4 Escape Clause 9/2ml is a freak of nature. 31 starts and 20 wins. 5 yr old Manitoba bred is definition of a race mare and a real rags to riches story. She wont be bet much but can win this.

Race 6  BOMB  #1 Undrafted 12-1ml will be overlooked with Disco Partner and World of Trouble taking all the money but looking closely at his numbers and style he can shock in here. Key is there needs to be multiple horses trying to go early with World of Trouble. If that happens maybe he gets softened up and the #1 gets dream trip. He will be more than 20-1 off odds I believe but shouldn’t be

Race 7  #5 Fancy Dress Party 10-1ml is 4 for 4 and will be out front pressing the pace and may gun for the lead. This is her test for class and distance but she may be the goods. Worth the gamble

Race 8  #11 Wendell Fong 10-1ml ran better than looked last out and that was a career best win and figure. Huge upside- will be overlooked at the windows with the super trainers in here. Love this horse.

Race 9  #9 Price Lucky 12-1ml hated the sloppy going last out but now gets fast ground and a perfect draw in this mile loaded with pace. Should sit 4 or 5 outside and make a run late.

Race 10  #10 Channel Maker 9/2ml is the best non Chad Brown horse in the race and all the Brown entries will get hammered and one will probably win but #10 fits with them and looks to be in peak form. Hopefully Rosario goes towards front early and if he can he has shown guts to stay

Race 11  #1 Joevia 30-1ml  Calling my shot. This is a complete pace play and I feel he gets lead pretty easily with all the logical pace types letting him go. He has never had an uncontested lead and has that look as one who could just get really brave and blow up the tote. I do think the race is wide open and hate War of Will as I think the triple crown grind catches up badly to him today. Tacitus was a big horse for me this spring and I do like him to be the logical winner but he doesn’t tower over anyone.

Race 12  #7 Mr. Maybe 12-1ml needed comebacker in last race and raced great last year so why not keep it going at 8 years old. Nothing much to beat in here

Race 13  #2 Campaign 7/2ml made a very eye catching late run at this marathon distance last out in a career best performance. You just don’t see those kinds of winning runs at this distance and this 4yr old son of Curlin may be the best marathon horse the US has had in a awhile.  May be the last time you get anything close to 7/2 on him.

Love #2 shadow rider race #1 not sure what I'm laying yet however 

Theres something I still like with Bourbon War and the fact Mike Smith is giving her the ride today makes me even more intrigued , with him liking to stay off the rail and running out of the 5 hole I think he has a shot

Nice good luck as well

Love your pick in the 3rd race at Belmont. You gave me the winner & I had the exacta. Thank you. You started me off on what should be a great day!

Between you & Pittsburg Phil, I have enough horses to hit the tri in the Belmont. Thank you for the #1 horse.
