Belmont’s NY Showcase often a good day for prices
By kasept. Filed in Uncategorized |
Coming to you from Willoughby, OH as I make my way to Louisville for ATR’s two week coverage of Breeders’ Cup, the 4th I will have attended at Churchill (’00, ’06, ’10). Want to get underway southbound to be able to enjoy the good card at Belmont with the NY Showcase stakes making for a fun afternoon of wagering. Elsewhere, Hawthorne features the Illini bred fall stakes slate, Laurel returns the DeFrancis Dash and Keeneland offers a nice sequence anchored by the G2 Raven Run where I want to try #5 Funny Sunny (10-1). Talk to you Monday from Churchill Downs.. Enjoy the weekend!

Of those that have run, Flea Flicker obviously stands out, and Pat Kelly’s Paws Up is the first foal out of Fox Ridge’s excellent SW Homerette. Among the firsters, note eye-opening $200k at OBS for the Kafwain ($5k fee) miss Peggy Jane, which was 9th most expensive purchase overall and 5th highest among fillies..

Good race here with play against fave in girl over boys NYB Futurity winner Wildcat’s Smile. Victory Island (7-2) solid but draws tricky rail slot for seven-eighths voyage, and three prices I’m using with her all look like potential winners. Have some fun here as formula is right for lucrative result..
