6/17: Belmont (1st-9th)
 

A very difficult card of races at Belmont to open the week. With a lousy weather forecast looming through Sunday, it may be the most complete day of racing on the East Coast for a while.

I am at work today and cannot watch Belmont, can anyone venture an opinion as to whether the main track is favoring speed today?

Kicking myself for being so unsure about the Contessa winner that I wasted a multiple in that third leg... Coverage of three more here in the anchor would have been really sweet given the bonus will-pays out there.

G/L to those who played along!

Appears to be helping them along, but certainly the winners completely figured...

Best of luck in this race Steve. It's a tough one.

I'm riding with you Steve.

Cashed the early P3, races 1-3 using top 3 picks, $81 for a $27 wager

This 5th race is crazy. Can't figure why 20-1ML shots are 8-1, and 4-1 ML shots are 8-1. Should be some nice exotics this race!

Played a .10 Super here as well, 4,7,8,9,10

Thanks again, and BOL with this one and the rest of the Afternoon!

Most Likely: #3 That's How I Roll 8-5 5th
Best Value: #5 Keep It a Secret 6-1 WON

Steve:

The Mcglaughlin charge was scratched at the gate, she did not run 5th as you indicated above. You scratched into the $11 winner!

I'm on board.

Steve Slyk :tro:

Thanks, Steve! Nice job on the early! :$:

Tim,

Thanks... I was at the market and figured 5th when I checked results on Xpressbet and the other 4 were 1-2-3-4!

Nice job on Pick 4!!:$:
