Friday Belmont 6/8

Belmont Friday 6/8/18

Coming with some logical ones and some bombs also. Feel really good about these as I got a good look at how the turf played on Thursday.  Wagering $425 total

Race 1-  #6 Ticonderoga  5/2 ml has had a  disappointing 2017 but should fire his best for his third start off layoff in his 4yr old money year. This is his favorite distance and he is 1 for 1 on the Widener turf course. Lots of speed in this race so he should get a favorable pace setup also. $25 Win

Race 2- #10 Frederica 30-1 ml Bomb looks possible in a wide open maiden turf sprint with loads on unknowns and many of these coming off long layoffs. The #2 Unparalleled 8-1 ml was very fast as a 2 yr old so if she comes back ready she should win but she may need one to get cranked up. Couple intriguing firsters also – ill use a fast working firster in an exacta box also. $25 Win #10 and $5 ex box 2-6-10

Race 3- #6 Lewis Bay 4-1 ml  is very hard tryer and gets a group she can handle. Loves Belmont and Chad Brown has this race mare ready for a big 2018. $25 Win

Race 4- #5 Dowse’s Beach 6-1 ml  7yr old hard knocking gelding cuts back from a mile in 2 start off layoff and gets to his fav turf course and distance. Had a good 2017 when racing against much better than these so hopefully gets a little overlooked in here and gets off around his ml.  #25 Win

Race 5- #3 Social Fan 10-1 ml is a WV bred trained by Pletcher who looks like a real runner. I always like to play small state bred 2yr olds trained by top trainers at a major track. That means the horse oozed talent from the get go and based on his two races he is game and fast.  $25 Win and $5 ex box 1-2-3

Race 6- #4 Fixedincome Larry 15-1 ml came back for his 3yrd old debut at Parx and tired after chasing a fast pace as the fav against weaker than these. His two 2yr old races in NY were both solid and he could surprise here at bomb odds. $25 Win and $5 ex box 4-8-11

Race 7- #4 Zap Daddy 20-1ml Mike Maker colt lost out on a better placing with a tough trip in his last but was 9/2 at same level and distance and now gets the big ml. Draws Mike Smith to ride. Showed he is a serious turf horse in two Florida starts against state bred company but with a clean trip and slight improvement time wise he fits as a logical contender.  $25 Win and $5 ex box 4-7-8

Race 8- #3 Imperial Hint 9/2ml should get a perfect stalking trip early outside the speedball #1 and has faced and beaten the best sprinters out there the past year. Comes off a disappointing 7furling try at CD in the slop so the odds will be right. $25 Win and $5 ex box 3-4-6

Race 9- #6 Daddys Lil Darling 4-1ml hung in last at one and half miles and cuts back a quarter mile paired with Mike Smith which is the same trip and jock for her career best score in the Gr I American Oaks in Dec 2017. Will be overlooked with Chad Brown having two in here and while his two runners look imposing this one fits on numbers with them. $25 Win

Race 10-  #10 Rocketry 8-1ml is bred for distance and gets the ultimate distance test in this 2 mile race.  There isn’t a easy way to handicap these races and I always just try to find a horse that runs fast and evenly and maybe takes to it.  This one fits that mold   $25 Win

Race 11- #10 Hampton Point 15-1 ml ran ok in debut going shorter on turf at GP and was towards the rear against a soft pace early. That was a sneaky good effort and Irad Ortiz jumps on for Jimmy Toner and Jimmy always gets a win at a price on big weekends. $25 win #10

Good luck today Dave, I posted my plays but not nearly as in depth as your write-ups.
