5/11: Belmont (4th-9th)
 

Found Oaks-Derby winners easily last weekend, but much of the rest of the cards challenging with tricky conditions thanks to lousy weather.. Hope everyone did well over the big weekend!

May have off-going Friday at Elmont.. Got back in the midweek swing of things Thursday delivering the Late Belmont P3 on ATRAB live with Pat Kelly's 17-1 winner in the 7th key. 3x1x3 ($9) play returned $228.00. Let's tee it up again at Big Sandy and hope the card doesn't scratch up too badly...

P4 suggestion after scratches...


Good luck!
Steve

Thanks Steve!

Really liked Sister Cat when I went through last night. Think she moves down the list if we end up Sloppy?

Probably.. Poor stats associated with her line on wet (6%), and she already demonstrated a disdain for it (though the sealed slop pasting was aided by a lousy break)...

We only got light sprinkles here on NY-LI this morning. Shouldn't change track conditions much.

Thanks Steve for selections and anybody going to the Big Sandy DRESS WARM!:o

Im in n. babylon. We had monsoons this morning.

Your right...I got nothing here in Hauppaugue but a sprinkle but you guys on the south shore must have got hammered( we're only 8 miles away from you). Bel is listed as muddy and turf good with races still on turf!

Dress warm? It's hot out. I have been at Belmont the last two days and it's been very warm and nice.

The last 2 days were glorious here in NYC but with 90 minutes to post it's 66 degrees...at least a jacket and slacks for me for now as I head to Belmont clubhouse!:rolleyes:

Good luck today Black!

Way to kick it off Steve! Winner and straight exacta.

It's a frigid 75º right now. ;)

Good to see Steve has Ruffino on top as that is my sole play of the day..Will key him in all three spots and a healthy WP bet to boot..My weekend hinges on this race, and I loved Ruffino last out and wired that group.(price wasnt there so just watched it)..I'll take every penny of 9/2 if I can get it..

I don't like Ruffino at all. This is a much tougher group than he faced last time. The horse who finished second bombed next time at under 6:5 against a terrible field.

Here is my pk4. Bit pricey but its Friday, so what the hell.

2,9 / 2,3,9 / 4,6,8,11 / 1,5,6,10
$96

Good Luck!

Sorry I didn't get home sooner to post a P4.. Was running errands catching up on stuff.. Still haven't seen scratch list..

The horse that "bombed" chased some pretty hot fractions last out only to be beaten by 2...They went a mile in 1:35, a second faster than Ruffino's effort..Do you think PP looked that bad?? LAst out looked like an improvement, factoring in the fractions set by Joquain Memphis.

If Ruffino's odds don't improve, you can kiss the WP bet goodbye..11 mins to post, they better improve by 5MTP or its exotics only...I agree, a much tougher spot, but absolutely wasn't expecting the odds to fall out like that...Hopefully they climb..

What price do you think Joquain Memphis would have been ( or should have been ) in today's race? Wasn't Bonus Size second?
