BEL, HOL carryovers a prequel to Crown’s third act
By kasept. Filed in Uncategorized |Mundane-looking Thursday late action at Belmont turned explosive with
Sciacca’s Piazza Di Spagna, used only as a Super Add second off the
winter break, rallying boldly into a slow pace under Rajiv Maragh to
score in the 8th at 17-1. Remarkably, with $7+ winners in the 6th and
7th and Toner’s 7-1 nightcapper, the late quad paid an outrageous $10.7k
($1). And there is of course a $33k carryover on a delightfully
intriguing Belmont Stakes eve card… Hollywood late night carryover as well, and Brad Free and I will analyze it at 6:30p ET tonight on ATR as part of the big preview show..
