6/17: Belmont (5th-10th)
 

Strange Saturday at CNL and CD with just enough hits to justify the work but agonizing misses like the Foster... Hope you did well... Good set at Belmont Sunday for Father's Day...

Another interesting firster in the 10th is the 1 - Pretty Gal. Outofthebox ($7,500 stud fee, but this one went for 100k as a yearling) is not so good with firsters, Bond rarely has them cranked, but...the Dam has three first out winners from six babies. Works over the deep Oklahoma training track show the ability. An exotics ticket must include. A good break from the inside....maybe.

Early pick 4

7 - 5 - 8 - 4/6

"colded" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scratches, Changes @ BEL
 

Dediced to split early with pointman and looks for some value in 1st three legs. Probably double up on small ticket.


R2 - 2,3,4,5
R3 - 2,3,4,5
R4 - 4,6,8
R5 - 4
$48

Good Luck Today!

Early P4:

R2 - 1,3,4,5,7
R3 - 2,3,4,5

R5 - 4

Oh the chalk....$15.90

GL and Happy Fathers Day to all. Hope it is a great day at the windows and with your family.

Mike,

Good luck.. And thx for the insight on the #1 in the BEL 9th..!!

Seems like things are heating up for the Board at Belmont. Let's keep it rollin today...

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads!!

Steve... Like your picks but I will add 7-Rock Lobster in the 8th... Desourmeaux IMHO is the best turf rider in the country.

I believe Rock Lobster is scratched.

Chalk City in early pk4.

Doubled up with scratch in 1st leg. Also had seperate $16 ticket to try to cover some chalk. Still believe I will lose a few bucks on the deal...

There is a claim of foul, but sisn't look like much to me.

Late P4:

R7 - 2,3,7
R8 - 3,6,8,10
R9 - 2,6
R10 - 1,9,11

DOWN
 

What a disappointment. . . Reminds me of Les Grands Trois' return. . .

Well... if it wasn't carrying over before this, it is now...

Not talking about a disappointment from a wagering standpoint- Since Frankel was so high on her I was expecting this filly to have a brighter future than this. . .

Undoubtedly still does... First start back off a 6 month break.. Unless something's been really wrong with her, she'll be better next out...

gimme credit fn loves ny..opening day winner at the spa o6

One and out on the pick 4 on a split ticket with pmac. Came back with a pick 3, added the 5 to the 8th and we are alive to the following 3:

$4 - 9
$1 - 1,11

Good luck to all that are alive here!!!

Nice looking will-pays. . . Good luck

Thanks, I had originally wanted to put that 5 in the pick 4, but could not narrow down the ticket and he ended up out. Did not have the 4 in the 7th anyway, so came back with the pick 3. I hope this works out, the will pays are nice.

Damn, if that 11 just could have held on. Oh well, still have a couple at Hollywood. Hope someone cashed on that today, big numbers.
