6/7: Belmont (4th-9th)
 

OK afternoon Wedneday with late P3 and nightcap Superfecta score, but passing on Big Jerome cost the handsome $400 late '4'.. Hope you did well.

Action continues to heat up towards Saturday with another solid card..

Race 3

Although not part of your sequence Steve, I love Double Dinghy Day for Alexander today.

7/2 ML and will be happy for 3-1 or higher. I think she is worth a strong play in here today.

A couple of thoughts.....


In the 5th race you might want to at least entertain the possibility that Lady Raj is a better horse than these.

In the 6th, If you think Rosie's Attitude can win, which she absolutely can, how can you dismiss Uptothechallenge, who has had major excuses in her last two, gets a major rider change, and will be a very square price? I can't. She's another part of a very tricky race.

Very easy to go deep in this leg. Seem to be a few in here with a legit chance to score at a nice price.

I like Second Marriage. Contessa having a great meet. This one is trying 2 turns for the first time, but I like it coming 2nd off a layoff after showing some early speed in her turf sprint last out.

Good luck with Second Marriage. They will be scraping me off the floor if she wins.

I think there is a huge disparity in talent between the 6F turf race she exits and this one. In general, the 6F turf sprints are weak fields.....especially in this condition.

BT,

Absolutely agree on Lady Raj and 'Challenge'.. Had same problem deciding on Lady Raj (5th) and Graeme Central (6th), and 7th (with Uptochallenge) is a total crapshoot..

Very tricky series. Should be a fun afternoon, and am bummed you can't get out there. Perfect day at this hour...

*note to self....get shovel ready just in case...*

There's a slight chance I may be able to head out after I'm done doing the show. I'll let you know if I do.

pure white
 

gpk I thought you liked pure white in the 5th at belmont?

6/7 BEL Race 9
 

Might want to carefully consider Parisella's entry here - We Love Our Kids, off a freshening...So far Wheelaway's look like they can take to turf, and this horse is certainly primed for a breakout.

cmf picked the firast stone cold good picking:)

Nice tri Steveo....

I'm going huge on 6 in the 8th.

HUGE.





A little on the 6/2.

Fix!!!

I did....was scratched. Second Marraige was in the 6th.

So much for the Johnnie V slump
 

Late Double for Johnnie V.
Seems like the slump might be over....

I thought Ramon was on Sunriver?
