Derby Trail Forums - 5/27: Belmont Park (4th-9th)

P6 players that negotiated the treacherous sequence were well rewarded with a $62k payoff, and it's hard to bwelieve as many hit as did with winners of $20, $16, $17 and $40 making up two thirds of the skien. Was happy to catch the opening 4th with $20.60 Merlin Bay the on top tab, but the highly obvious chalky winners in the 7th and 8th were all that could be added to the early success. Of course the outcome of the multis should probably have ben very different as runner up Deflationary Fears was the glaring best in the 9th but received a curiously indifferent Alan Garcia ride. Hope you did well! More Elmont action today, and Ron Turcotte joins me on 'At the Races' later!
