Belmont, 6-23

[golfer]

3 races destroyed my day.
R Dutrow's 3 day wheel back holding off the 1 horse in the first.

A Dutrow's Freudian waking up in the 4th.. it's not surprising how he ran today, he was a winner one step out of the gate. What was surprising was how awful he ran the time before, which is why I didn't use him today.

Can someone PLEASE explain how anyone could come up with Street Sass in the 7th. The word must have out as she amazingly went off at 8-1, off the DNF and layoff.. sits dead last and rolls by the field like they were standing still. This is a serious question, I hope someone can answer it.

I missed the super in the last, and boneheadedly failed to play the trifecta, it was that type of day

I used Street Sass in my Pick 6(which of course ended up 5 of 6 cause I single Jade Queen jeez). Just off the beyers her race 2 back made her competitive against this bunch of gals who really didnt have any proven killers and the lightly raced ones had certain knocks on them. I drew a line through her last and loved the addition of Gomez off the layoff and that last work she had on the 'toga training track (:48 2/5). I also figured she would be coming well off a pretty hot pace with Brown Eyed Belle and Zip of Fools in there. Unfortunatly I didn't use Makderah even though I regarded her as the next most logical winner in the 8th but I had to single somewhere.

Thanks for the response, Gauchos. The race 2 back for Street Sass was a Thorograph 7, which was 7 points better than she had ever run (and the only good race she had ever run), and while it was easy to draw a line through the Feb Aqueduct race, the "isolated" top was over 6 months ago. Good call coming up with her, sorry about your missing the pick 6 ($22,000, that really sucks!).
