I haven't done any real handicapping work at all on the undercard yet -- but here are some thoughts:

Race #2: The solid 1 is a first-time starter out of a Dehere mare.

Race #4: I'll Have Another is not even the most expensive 3-year-old son of Flower Alley from the OBS April sale on this card! The #6 horse Ruthless Alley -- trained by Rodrigo Ubillo -- sold for $42,000 at OBS April.

Race #9: Hardened Wildcat (12/1 on the ML) is dangerous and should get a piece.

Race #10: I like Desert Blanc quite a bit. That aside, I can't remember seeing anything like the win odds on Omayad's form. He won all of his first six races by clear margins ... and went 7-for-7 to start his career without ever being sent off at odds of even money or less. That's freaking rare.

Race #11: I think Unstoppable U bit his tongue last time. He won despite appearing to be bleeding from the mouth... I don't think I've ever seen a horse debut on March 31st of their 3yo season and race in the Belmont.

Race #13: Unless Vol Jack says Sneaky Kitten is the best thing since sliced bread, play against her this time.
