Belmont Week kicks off with good card, Stakes draw
By kasept. Filed in Uncategorized |
Ended the weekend Sunday with a nice run through the late P4 after
feeling dopey leaving pretty obvious horses out of the tabs and
carryover P6 play. After SCR of Big Polk a Dot in the 6th made Show
Trial a single, $36 quad punt returned a happy $270 with overlaid Vinda
($23.00) boosting the sequence. Hope you did well!
Belmont Week kicks off with a rather fun card Wednesday, and the more I looked the more I thought everything was worth featuring here. Draw of the Belmont Stakes is at 11a and can be seen live streaming: http://www.belmontstakes.com/livestream/

Nightcap likely tougher than it looks with top trio of faves obvious, and then a number of quirky first and second time starters including J. Jerkens’ #9 Two Harbors (12-1). By A.P. Indy son Pulpit out of the nice Santa Catalina, she is a half sister of the excellent Golden Missle, who was by A.P. Indy himself. Dam has gotten grass runners, and this one may be better 2nd time postward and moving to the lawn..
