$63k Belmont carryover the focus after big Saturday..
By kasept. Filed in Uncategorized |Enjoyed a very strong afternoon of play Saturday with nearly everything working to the good. Lone setback was absense off 4th choice Joey’s Chance on P4 ticket missing $1,600 bonanza, but that frustrator was offset by the $1,635 Super High 5 play in the Hollywood nightcap! After falling short in NY though, the Quad plays got back on track with $792 Arlington and $265 Hollywood hits.
Other niceties on the day included Brass Hat’s crazy 6-1 price ($14.00) in the Louisville H., which was too good to pass up, and the $1,100 superfecta in the Arlington Matron. You needed to box up my P4 uses in the Matron to find that mutuel, which was tripped by 7-1 Euphony whom I tabbed 4th as a Super Add. But the key for me in the race was 42-1 Home’s the Best who rallied belatedly to grab 4th.
Hope you did great! $63k carryover at Belmont today which should be a fun afternoon if the rain stays away…
