The day to day racing at Belmont was pretty good at the start of the meet but has been decidedly subpar since Memorial Day and specifically bad the last three racing days.

what are the reasons for not betting graded stakes, if U don't mind me asking? More $$ in the pools should equal more overlays, esp. when horses like perfict drift run and eliminate the takeout.

The races tend to be more formful and overall probably present me with less of the kind of betting opportunities I am looking for.

This is exactly how I feel, you look through the form and you know who is gonna be close at the wire. Rarely can you find a nugget in a Grade 1, but that 25k claimer on a Wed....you might find a nugget that others miss.

Musical Melody is extremely live in the last race for an outfit that rarely takes much money.
