BELMONT PARK
POST-SCRATCHES
1st: NY-ALW/N1X, 3+, 8.5f-T (P3, DD)
Excellent NYB ALW to start the day with top 3 faves (Mobridge, Papa Freud, Mr Cowboy) all credentialed and another trio (Barnards Galaxy, Hepatologist, Status of Forces) looming while offering value..
Most Likely: #3 Barnards Galaxy 5-1 4th
Next Best: #4 Mobridge 2-1 2nd
Best Value: #7 Status of Forces 20-1 WON ($51.50)
Exotics Use: #6 Hepatologist 8-1 7th
2nd: MSW, 3+, 1m (P4, P3, DD)
Darley entry OK while Easement (Jerkens) and Sliver and Onions (Hushion) hit board in underbet debuts. Two interesting firsters here with Shirreffs presenting latest Stronach drop from wonderful Perfect Sting (Supreme Commander) and Michelle Nevin getting Samantha Siegel’s $350k Mineshaft yearling purchase (Touchofstarquality) to the track. Both have worked nicely for this with Supreme Commander seemingly pedigreed for turf routing and Touchofstarpower not possessing a win early page. Tough call after the obvious ones that come in with experience..
Most Likely: #1 Darley entry 4-1 3rd/6th
Best Value: #4 Easement 6-1 5th
Next Best: #6 Sliver and Onions 9-5 2nd

4th: OC/N2X, 3+, 10f-IT (P3, DD)
As discussed with Nick Tammaro on ATR Friday, a fascinating ‘Saratoga-esque’ test which includes old hopper fave Spy in the Sky (!) likely prepping for a defense of the A.P. Smithwick. Tough group to decipher overall with pace certain to decide outcome. Arc Above’s 2 wins have come this trip and strip. Needs to improve further but he’s 12-1 on the line and may float higher..
MAJOR SCR’S: 3-5-10

6th: MSW, 3+, 6.5f (P6, P3, DD)
$41,581 P6 C/O starts here..
Tricky start to the sequence. Tiz for Tat faced nice juveniles last year and could be better than these if ready. Sliver and Onions in the 2nd is a referendum for Mr. O’Leary SCR here as they were a neck apart in debuts. Mentor Cane ran into Flashback in their unvielings. Street Prince another first time 3yo and he found Forty Tales when making first start..
Most Likely: #3 Tiz for Tat 4-1 2nd
Next Best: #9 Mentor Cane 7-2 WON ($6.10)
Best Value: #1 Street Prince 15-1 7th
Super Add: #7 Siete C 5-1 5th
7th: OC/N3L, 3+, 6f (G/S, P3, DD)
Don’t like this sinkhole event one bit. Looks like there is a lot of pace and that’s exactly when everybody looks at each other out of the gate and grabs hold. I wouldn’t be comfortable in multis unless I had them all. Speed of the speed is veteran returnee Western Prospector who’s working up a storm at FLakes for the comebacker..
Most Likely: #6 Make a Fortune 3-1 5th
Next Best: #8 He’s So Chic 7-2 3rd
Best Value: #2 Western Prospector 12-1 9th
Exotics Use: #7 Ground Force 4-1 4th

As has been discussed, a fascinating group of accomplished sprinters that have amassed 69 wins and $8,000,000 between them. Several look to recapture lost form including Fred Brei’s beloved Jackson Bend. Hard to argue against any combination you may come up with. Note that Marty Wolfson said on ATR Friday that he was contemplating a SCR ** of Swagger Jack..
