Arrow 6/19-20 (BEL): Friday/Saturday, 15% T/O Belmont Stakes P5

Wouldn’t it be cool if NYRA had a 2 day $1 minimum pick 5 that started on Friday and finished on Saturday, like they do with the Oaks & Derby double & pick 3 ?

Multi-day, multi-leg bets are fraught with problems. Changing weather conditions (sloppy track, drying track, sealed/harrowed track) and unexpectedly speed favoring surfaces are just two problems.

Have always wondered why serious handicappers are willing to bet on parimutuel pools 24+ hours in advance when 50% of the money comes in during the last 5 minutes.

I agree only people that play in these seem to be the serious horse players that really don't give thoughts to who their opponents are . I'd rather compete in the Saturday Pick 5's which attract casual money and large pools.

FRI-SAT P5

The Belmont Stakes two-day Pick 5, with a low 15 percent takeout and mandatory payout, begins in Race 7 on Friday at 4:32 p.m. Eastern with a seven-furlong optional-claiming sprint on the Widener turf course for fillies and mares 3-years-old and up which drew field of 11, including one main-track only entrant.

The sequence continues in Friday's Race 9 (5:36 p.m.) with the $80,000 Sir Cat, a six-furlong turf sprint for sophomores featuring the stakes-winning duo of Jack and Noah and Old Chestnut for Hall of Fame trainer Mark Casse.

The Belmont Stakes two-day Pick 5 wager continues on Saturday in Race 8 at 4:15 p.m. with the Grade 1, $300,000 Longines Acorn, a one-turn mile for sophomore fillies led by Hall of Fame trainer Mark Casse's Grade 1-winner Perfect Alibi and rising star Gamine, who ships in from California for Hall of Famer Bob Baffert.

The penultimate leg, the Grade 1, $250,000 Jaipur, presented by America's Best Racing, in Race 9 at 4:53 p.m. will see a field of eight 3-year-olds and up going six furlongs on turf, chasing a berth in the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint via the Breeders' Cup Challenge Series.

The sequence concludes with the 152nd running of the Grade 1 Belmont Stakes in Race 10 at 5:42 p.m. Multiple Grade 1-winning New York-bred Tiz the Law, trained by Barclay Tagg for Sackatoga Stable, headlines a talented field of 10. Tiz the Law will face steep competition from the Todd Pletcher-trained duo of Dr Post and Farmington Road as well as the late-running Sole Volante
