Blingo is an underlaid 3-1 fave here and needs a spirited pace battle up front to win. Boat Trip the horse to beat from my perspective and there’s no harm in trying to knock him off too. Sadler explained on ATR that You Know I Know will opt for easier spot leaving barnmate Koast as his representative, but stretchout a big question mark at low tote. Midnight Crooner was a horse that really looked good breaking his maiden at Golden Gate and timing is right for him to take step forward..

Two top sprinters fell Saturday with the undefeated Agave Kiss off the board after stopping in the Victory Ride and Trinniberg being nipped in a knockdown-dragout with Fort Loudon in the Carry Back. Interestingly, there was nothing to indicate that Agave Kiss would fail to fire and a number of red flags about Trinniberg with the Barbhoos extremely hesitant to enter the Summit events. Yet Agave Kiss was dull and Trinniberg ran a quality follow-up to his 106 Beyer Woody Stephens as he and Fort Loudon rang up 104 BSF’s in their duel.

Using Fort Loudon with Trinniberg wasn’t a stretch, but even if you wanted to protect against a faulter by Agave Kiss, finding Allen Jerkens’ 39-1 Emma’s Encore was no small feat. She was working very well for her first start since May 16 and had picked up the pieces of a pace collapse going 6f in her last win, but projecting a 20 point fig jump — an 8 length improvement on the Beyer scale — was dicey. Hats off to Caton Bredar who tabbed her on Saturday’s ‘Down the Stretch’.

In the Suburban, Kathy Ritvo had Mucho Macho Man tuned up beautifully and Mike Smith quietly guided him to an impressive win against a group that left panting in his wake. His 108 Beyer was a career best and sets him up nicely for a run at laurels during the second half of the year. The other 4yo’s in the race — To Honor and Serve, Stay Thirsty and Buffum — were simply embarrassed by their counterpart, beaten a dozen plus lengths. Trickmeister set serious fractions and stayed on for third. while Hymm Book was too late on the scene and second.

Hope everybody did OK Saturday.. Another carryover at Belmont Sunday and since Tina and I don’t leave until tomorrow, it’s hard to bypass the approachable sequence.

Difficult start to sequence with perhaps 7 here capable. Out of the Kingmambo mare Menekinko, #11 Tater Downs SCR’D is a half to Ready’s Echo (More Than Ready) and sire Badge of Silver gets plenty of turf winners himself (14%). Tricky draw but lures Castellano, who could have ridden 5-2 Sr. Henry, for NY bow.

There were two tricky horses to find in Friday’s Belmont Double Carryover P6, $25.20 Mary P. Jones in the 5th and $12.80 Special Skills in the 6th. I tabbed both as Best Value runners but only used the 2nd choice former on the ticket. Special Skills, from ever dangerous Alan Goldberg, was a first time starter and I leaned on the 2 in the race that had already run. Got back the investment on the conso anyway and it was a fun afternoon. Hope everyone did well. Chance that New York cancels due to the heat. Here’s a look at the BEL P4 and Summit of Speed at Calder before the wife and I head to Quebec for a few days..

Agave Kiss is the least-known undefeated horse in the world. She’s not Frankel, but she’s pretty darn nice. You get the feeling this will be a real test for her breaking from inside and with virtually all but Sea Island looking like pace pressure. Because of that scenario, it is Sea Island that offers value as the likely upsetter should the 6-for-6 Lion Heart filly faulter. Worth at least back-up P3/P4 plays as insurance..

Outstanding cast for this historic race and it sure feels like there will be an honest if not spirited pace on with Trickmeister leading the parade. Of course when you get that scenario, it’s often a recipe for riders looking at each other out of the gate with no one moving. To Honor and Serve too short a number to warmly embrace and am inclined to stay the course with Hymm Book whose rally has fallen short in last two. Need to cover several bases to get through this in the multis though and that includes Pletcher-Repole pair and resurgent Buffum..

P6 at Belmont went un-hit a 2nd day Thursday and Friday’s sequence, part of a twilight slate that kicks off at 3:00pm, features 4 maiden specials that are plenty treacherous. In addition to the diploma events, the featured Chasin’ Wimmin’ is a maddeningly deep dash for NY-bred 3+. The sextet ends with a CLM/N2L. Should be a fun afternoon ahead of a big Saturday that includes the Suburban at Belmont, Summit of Speed at Calder and Hollywood Gold Cup..

Interesting filly group to start things with Albertrani-KMc sending an even money pair of Darleys. Dance Card debuted nicely for McLaughlin in May and the full brother of Tempted to Tapit is the preferred partner stretching out 300 yards. Tom A’s Centring is a homebred daughter of MG1W Composure by A.P. Indy who is returning to the oval after a 642 day absence. The most likely upsetter here is Angel Penna with 2nd time starting stretchout Bazooka Babe who gets Lasix and headgear for the first time. The Adena Springs homebred by Holy Bull is out of the Caro-IRE mare Cargo, making her a half to Red Bullet. Bruce Brown doesn’t typically have runners ready first out and The Giant’s Beauty has taken a while to get to the races. But the NY bred is worth noting being out of Al Fried’s Moonlightandbeauty by Giant’s Causeway, making her a full brother to nifty MSW Giant Moon. Allen Jerkens takes over on Hilda’s Legacy who has made 6 starts since 12/3/11 on Woodbine poly and grass. Being by Airdrie sire Istan, she has every right to be better on an authentic main track. For pedigree players, Istan, who has 2 crops out, has proven himself a particularly good sire of wet track runners..

McLaughlin has Shadwell product Qeyaas starting his career and he is worth looking at as one of just a handful of U.S. runners for Haafhd, who stands for Sh. Hamdam in the UK.

Chasin’ Wimmin’, ridden regularly by Jean-Luc Samyn, knocked heads with Say Florida Sandy, Intidab, Pebo’s Guy, Stalwart Member and the like between 1998-2002. The stake is perfectly named because this group — featuring Uncle T Seven, Be Bullish, Mine Over Matter, Law Enforcement, Driven by Success, etc. — are cut fully from the cloth of Chasin’ Wimmin’.

Some quality pedigrees signed on and certainly the group of firsters starts with Pletcher-Robsham’s Sweet N Discreet (6-5), a full sis to Discreet Dancer and half to Travelin Man. But there’s plenty of other prospects here based on heritage including Clement’s Native One, by win-early sire Indian Charlie and a half to stakes winners Banker’s Buy (Distorted Humor), Glacken’s Gal (Smoke Glacken), City Dweller (Carson City). Must overcome inside post but this is 5f and sharp break puts her in plus position. The value and the pick.

Dutrow-Jay Em Ess entry (by Hard Spun & Tapit) could be potent no matter which of the pair Rick sends with Ramon. Albertrani brings first Nobiz Like Shobiz I’m seeing to the fray, a true top/bottom homebred from Mrs. Valando given she authored the pages of the sire and dam herself. Zito adds Distortion SCR’D to this heady group, a Distorted Humor chestnut out of 3x stake winner Misty Rosette who exchanged decisions with Swap Fliparoo in 2006, dusting her in the G3 Old Hat for Jim Chapman before finishing behind her in the G1 Test..

ATR listeners got great insight from Andy Serling Tuesday about the kind of horse to consider as a price play in a race like this. Andy will use the Green Hills homebred #10 Voodoo Storm (10-1) with favored Compliance Officer because the McGaughey trainee has been much better in his return to the grass as a 4yo and looks to have upside yet. By Storm Cat, the colt is out of the truly outstanding Voodoo Dancer (Kingmambo) who won more than she lost for Clement (21/11-4-2; $1.4MM) and counted the Diana, Garden City, Palomar and Beverly Hills among her 7 graded stakes victories. Voodoo Storm was a little slow at 2 and through most of his 3yo season, but began to improve later in the year and turned the corner at Keeneland in April with a grass ALW score. The late runner missed rallying late here 5/13 under Leparoux and get Rosario today in a spot where the pace up front should be no less than solid..
