10/20: Belmont (Empire Day)
 

Hope some caught on air selection of Bel Air Beauty in her annual stakes win at Keeneland yesterday in the Valley View.. Missed the Late P3 but the $18.00+ on the Frank Brothers-Bruce Lunsford miss was OK as she looked perfectly set up for a big try third off the break.

Hard to pass up the NYB Stakes card at Belmont today with weather looking to be better and big mutuels making a yearly visitation on these proceedings..

No Psymphony of Psalms in the 6th? She had a no-chance trip in her last when beaten by many in here (which should ensure a square price).

Literally next on the list. Agree, a tough exclude.. Happy the 6th misses the P4's..

While comparing my selections with yours I noticed that you transposed the numbers for Ice Cool Kitty and Precise Lady.

According to my Racing Form Ice Cool Kitty is # 8 and Precise Lady is # 7.

Just wanted to point that out as I don't know who you wanted to include in the Pick 4.

Hopefully you have a Great day as our selections are very close.

Do you really think Karakorum Starlet has a shot with these? That would be awesome as I would get my picture taken in the Winners Circle as I own a small %age.

GL to all playing today!

coa parlay all day 10 bucks w/p/s...:eek: :cool:

Lovin Alexandros in second...

I'll take Ramon Dominguez against him.

HH,

Good catch.. Thx!

Thought K-Starlet ran very credibly last pair and offers value here. Don't think she's as good a win candidate as Tactic or Kitty... But good luck there today!

Steve - Post Exchange has been very good in the am's since he was gelded

He's going to be tough in there.

Form only shows one workout since layoff. Something not on there? Not listed as Gelding either.

He's listed as one in the changes.

Track: Good
Turf: Soft (!) A rare admission...

Thanks. Good to know...
