Belmont, 6-30

Blew it - didn't get the scratch of the 7 in the 2nd leg till about 2 min to post and threw up the wrong one in it's place...0-14 maidens break eventually, with a 79 beyer coming in and JV up, Seastate should have been a no brainer...oh well

Anyhow, we'll try to get them back with the late P4:

2,3,4
1,3
2,4
3,5,7,8

Only Bleepin Dutrow could get a horse off nearly 2 years home in the first..
Forest Jazzy in the 7th was disgraceful, but it sure as hell didn't help the way she was loaded (slamming her head into the gate)...
Why Calvin waited until Octave had passed him to start riding Lady Joanne is one I don't think I'll ever understand...

And I wouldn't have played the winner of the 10th even if I could bet now!!

Other than that, it was a great day at Belmont.

That one just never added up....I included her at the risk of eliminating others I liked (including the winner) but had an unsettling feeling doing so...need to go with the gut more often

35k maiden claimers in NY could win going away at RD for a dime....Got hypnotized by the Beyer, I'm afraid..Lesson learned!
