6/11: Belmont ($1.1MM C/O)

[Kasept]

Enjoyed a strong first half of the Belmont Day card Saturday with 6 straight winners from the Most Likely or Best Value selections before Ventura slowed me up in the Just a Game. The highlight was the $1,180.00 early Pick 4 hit suggested with an $81 play that came in juicy thanks to Best Value runners $43.00 Endless Circle (5th) and $10.80 Piazza Di Spagna (3rd).

Sciacca's Piazza also keyed the $25.75 exacta, $59.25 tri and $697 super, and the exacta of Galluscio's 'Circle' and Exotics Add Dr. W returned $134.00. Rolling P3's using the tabs brought back $52.75 (1st-3rd); $61.50 (2nd-4th); $310.50 (3rd-5th) and $88.50 (4th-6th). Zaftig, J Be K and Megapixel rounded out the rest of the afternoon as top picks on what I hope was a very good day for you!

Remnants of Saturday, besides explanations of Brown's bad day, remain in the form of a $1,180,000 Pick Six carryover on a very tricky card. It is the largest single-day carry in NYRA P6 history. My approach to the fun but murderously difficult sextet below...
