Deep start to late quad with at least 6 of the 12 particularly eligible for laurels (1-3-5-8-10-12).

As discussed Tuesday with Andy Serling, a stakes quality 3rd level ALW with many familiar faces. Lochte (3-1) and Upgrade (6-1) get out-posted in the 12 & 11 respectively, encouraging you to look for alternatives. Pace looks moderate.

Inaugural Stars & Strips Festival Day at Belmont an unequivocal smash hit as outstanding card draws an enthusiastic on-track crowd (11k) and a flood of wagering handle from all corners (nearly $19,000,000). The stars of the day included Jose Lezcano (Natural stakes hat track in Sprint-Derby-Suburban), Chad Brown (Zivo/Suburban; Minorette/Oaks), Clearly Now (New 7f track record) and Mr. Speaker (Derby win over excellent International cast). The mutuels were plenty inviting and lucrative as the big, competitive fields required deep penetration on tickets to score. The P6 carryover went “Darlington” (the track too tough to tame) courtesy of $49 Mr. Speaker and $29 Zivo and offers a big $177k invitation into today’s mundane sequence.

In addition to the big pot at BEL, the United Nations at MTH (and on Fox Sports 1) and Queens Plate at WO add to the windup from a grand Holiday Weekend…

Former James Marvin comes down from Toga and lures an eclectic cast of dashers that have resumes dotted with 7f success. There is questionable pressure up front, so ‘cheaper’ speeds Dads Caps and Moonlight Song may be cruising comfortably on top and remember what Dads Caps got away with in the Carter. Favored Central Banker the horse to beat and should get a cozy inside stalking trip. Clearly Now will win at some point obviously. Big Screen moderately interesting if he runs here 2nd/layoff, turf/dirt and cutting back at huge price..

Wildly diverse group assembled for this reinterpreted Jamaica with International cast of 11 having made last starts at Meydan, Churchill, Belmont, Longchamps, Ascot.. and Penn National. Jamie Osborne, Aidan O’Brien, Gai Waterhouse (!) and Dermot Weld (Oaks player Flying Jib) sending runners gives this concept instant credibility and gravitas. In addition to International challengers Toast of New York, Adelaide, Gailo Chop and Pornichet, credible domestic types Bobby’s Kitten and Dance With Fate very much in with chances. Note too lurking presence of Paddy Gallagher’s Flamboyant who arrived in New York very early with this event always the target. Damsire Until Sundown is also the sire of Chilean champion and serious stayer Quick Casablanca, so added ground to 10f may be ideal for this potential surprise package that has trained forwardly, was within a nose of Gailo Chop last fall and retains Rosario..

$64k P6 C/O starts here..

Habibi the wild card in this solid lineup but appears a lumbering sort from morning observations of Andy Harrington. Parranda stands out and the mile her best trip..

Most Likely: #10 Parranda 3-1 WON ($6.20)
Best Value: #5 Moulin de Mougin 12-1 3rd
Next Best: #3 Wishing Gate 5-1 4th
Exotics Use: #9 Kathleen Rose 6-1 2nd

6th: 63rd Triple Bend (G1), 3+, 7f (P3, DD)

G1 event at seven-eighths but not really laden with speed..

Exotics Use: #6 Cyclometer 5-2 2nd

7th: 46th Senorita (G3), 3yo-F, 1m-T (P4, P3, DD)

Good group of soph missies. Either Hollendorfer looks highly appealing, including the maiden. Rovenna on a roll but this is open company and she looks to have plenty of company on the front end..

Best Value: #4 Morning Fix 5-1 3rd
Next Best: #7 Famous Alice 7-2 2nd
Exotics Use: #5 Burning Arch 10-1 7th
Super Add: #6 Sushi Empire 6-1 6th

8th: 75th Gold Cup (G1), 3+, 10f *P3, DD)

Value here looks like Majestic Harbor who appears in career best form under McCarthy..

Next Best: #2 Fury Kapcori 9-2 6th
Best Value: #6 Majestic Harbor 12-1 WON ($30.80)
Exotics Use: #3 Clubhouse Ride 9-2 2nd

9th: OC/C, 3+, 1m-T (DD)

Wildly competitive group where any number of progressive types could improve to win at a square price. And if that’s the way you approach it, why not Proctor at 12-1? (My Friend Jimmy).. Or Proctor at 6-1? (Chelios)..

Best Value: #7 My Friend Jimmy 12-1 4th
Next Best: #9 Snaps 4-1 2nd
Exotics Use: #3 A Red Tie Day 8-1 WON ($15.00)

10th: OC/C, 3+, 1m-T (Super Hi-5)

$24k Super Hi-5 C/O here..

Is American Pride too obvious? If so good off that big maiden-breaking effort, why the modest, unimaginative placement here? Feels like pace gets hot here..

Most Likely: #1 American Pride 5-2 WON ($5.20)
Best Value: #10 Celebrity Status 6-1 4th

POST-SCRATCHES

3rd: MSW, 2yo-F, 5f (P3, DD)

Pletcher-Siena Bernardini filly Angela Renee a full sis of To Honor and Serve who may need longer off series of solid but moderate works. Breen-Hall miss by Any Given Saturday a half to the nice Pianist..

Most Likely: #4 High Dollar Woman 5-2 5th
Best Value: #2 Sunday Sonnet 5-1 2nd
Next Best: #8 Angela Renee 8-5 WON ($8.30)

4th: NY-MSW, F&M-3+, 1m-T (P6, P3, DD)

$85k DBL C/O starts here..

Deep set of turf maidens make this a tricky start to carryover sequence. Sleek found herself in tough company for 3yo debut and any added improvement makes her strong here. Arch Kingsley’s Chasing Paradise owns style that keeps her involved. Keen Katana will need to rally into the murky pace picture. Dixie Gem is interesting at 15-1 off highly obfuscated seasonal debut..

Most Likely: #4 Sleek 5-2 3rd
Next Best: #5 Chasing Paradise 3-1 2nd
Best Value: #2 Dixie Gem 15-1 5th
Exotics Use: #7 Keen Katana 6-1 WON ($6.60)

6th: MSW, 3+, 6f-IT (P4, P3, DD)

Thought this was toughest set of the day with curiosity of entire field attempting a turf sprint for first time. They’re running the Iowa Turf Sprint late tonight and first time starter We Fly Private (U S Ranger) is out of Skybox who produced the 2002 winner of that event, Sand Ridge. Skybox has plenty of progeny with grass prowess including Stopshoppingmaria who won the GP Ladies Turf Sprint last year. At 15-1, We Fly Private is worth a flyer in this undefined group..

Best Value: #5 We Fly Private 15-1 7th
Next Best: #4 Bright Face 2-1 6th
Exotics Use: #6 Eternal Bull 6-1 3rd
Super Add: #2 Charlie’s Picnic 5-2 WON ($6.80)

7th: NY-ALW/N1X, 3+, 6.5f (P3, DD)

This is a quirky bunch that comes down to how heated the pace gets. Station Chief, Brass Pear, Pillar of Strength, Say Mr. Sandman and Horatio all have speed. Someone may take control or they all may look at each other out of the gate. There’s little way of knowing how this unfolds, though Garcia (Sandman) and Rosario (Strength) both enjoy grabbing advantages when they’re offered. Thxtomyuncle is 3rd/layoff and will be closing into the possible collapse..
