6/14: Belmont ($53k C/O)
 

Couldn't find Proctor's 'other' horse to close out Churchill All-Stakes P4, but was pleased to get on board Macho Again, whom I flogged all week on ATR, for the Foster. Belmont late quad action was complicated by off/turf in the 7th and 10th, but I wasn't coming up with Masala as a winner in the 9th no matter how hard I looked at the race. Hope you did OK. Carryover at Elmont today of $53k, with main track listed as fast and the 7th and 10th again listed as off the soft turf courses. 5th, 6th and 8th still on for what looks like a challenging sequence.

Literally my first thought after he crossed the line was ''I should have listened to Steve'' :(

:) :) They took the 7th and 10th off the turf, but kept the 6th on, guessing because it is a different course??

Thank god because Graphite Halo absolutely is putrid on slop or dirt.....

Good Luck!

Why is everyone loving the #5 horse in the 9th? I've got him pegged as the fourth contender. Don't mean to question the vets, just trying to learn something.

Seems like it is a waste of time lately to even handicap.. Just play Byks P4 and save the wear and tear on the brian. Good luck in the night-cap

I'm glad Sailor's Cap appears to have taken a step forward from last year, but obviously he couldn't have possibly gotten a better set-up.

Nice job again, Steve. I couldn't take that 12 on dirt at a small price.

Steve
 

congrats on the pk4 and nice pk on #1 in the 8th

Thanks P... Good close to the weekend. I didn't use the 12 initially either, but when Ketubah scratched I needed somebody. Certainly wasn't counting on Saarlandisourland...

Nice hit, Steve. Both Pk4s played pretty well for relatively low priced horses.

Thx sdj!

Send me your address by PM... You're due a couple of contest prizes I think...

Nice job as always Steve!:$:

10-4 sure will, got any POTN t"S or hats .....lol

that a way to hedge with Kip

horse didn't look himself coming back from dubai

i was rooting for the 10 to hold on for ya in the finale

congrats

-bt-

Nice job on the pk4 Steve.

Well done Steve.

Great hit steve. Keep those pick 4's rolling. Great saver with with kip deville going down in flames. Horse just didn't look comfortable.

does anyone know when sailors cap was purchased by valor?
i don't remember seeing the green and red the last time he

-bt-

He's been with them since Day 1 as far as I know.

NT

i could have sworn this horse had like segals on his silks the last time i saw him run, like green silks with white segals, and i wasn't on acid that day either

** i could be thinking of a completely different horse though
*** well i wasn't on acid but i just remember it was sporting art, not sailors cap, my mistake
