BELMONT PARK


POST-SCRATCHES


6th: Dwyer (G3), 3yo, 1m (P5, P3, DD)

2nd out 3yo Whiskey Echo is 20-1 and it's interesting that Asmussen ships here when Winchell/Horton Tiznow colt could have tested waters in softer regional 3yo events. Gets to stretch out at one turn and has been working noticeably faster than barn's runners typically do. Will have lead under hustling Santana and could very well forget to stop. Code of Honor horse to beat, though Shug certainly has sight set on bigger summer prizes. 5-1 on Mihos looks very attractive, though I think he'll vie for 2nd choice with Rowayton..

Best Value: #4 Whiskey Echo 20-1 6th
Most Likely: #3 Code of Honor 4-5 WON ($4.30)
Next Best: #1 Mihos 5-1 4th
Exotics Use: #2 Rowayton 3-1 3rd


BELMONT 7th: Belmont Oaks (G1), 3yo-F, 10f-IT (X-C P5, P4, P3, DD)

Have seen this movie before as Cafe Americano (12-1) looks primed to jump up at this big opportunity. Castellano a natural for her behind the pace style as he inherits mount from Irad who stays with Newspaperofrecord...

Best Value: #5 Cafe Americano 12-1 6th
Next Best: #2 Newspaperofrecord 5-2 9th
Exotics Use: #1 Olendon 9-2 8th
Super Add: #4 Concrete Rose 3-1 WON ($7.80)

Exotics Use: #6 Bon Raison 15-1 5th


BELMONT 9th: Belmont Derby (G1), 3yo, 10f-IT (P3, DD)

Crazily fun group of 14 with intrigue added with 3 of the 4 Chad Brown players (#12 Demarchelier, #13 Digital Age, #14 Rockemperor) drawing wide. Trips will obviously make all the difference in this bulky field, so forward-going types that won't have to negotiate too much traffic might deserve preference..

Most Likely: #13 Digital Age 9-2 4th

Exotics Use: #10 Spinoff 15-1 11th

Rachel Alexandra half brother Wooderson, 2/2 as a 4yo, gets chance at a coming out party here as controlling speed under Johnny who is 3/2-1-0 when paired with him. 12-1 on the line and we should get it..

Best Value: #7 Wooderson 12-1 10th
Next Best: #1 Catholic Boy 9-5 2nd
Exotics Use: #2 Preservationist 5-1 WON ($9.90)
Super Add: #4 Marconi 6-1 7th

I'm guessing you had Henley's Joy then and that guaranteed you had a good day..

All I knew in there was to use as many as possible and 4, 6 & 8 wasn't enough for me to get to him..
