Can't believe they won't. There was no rain last night....at least in the city.

Thanks, BTW. Wasn't sure about the weather or if Belmont had sorted out its turf problems from the start of the meet.

NYRA website is still slow but it is getting better I remember a few times they didn't post the changes until after the 1st race

Fast and good as of about 10am. This from the racing office. No scratches or changes yet at 11:30 is a bit of a pain.

They just ran the first at Belmont and although the favorite and a logical horse did indeed run 1-2, it still appears to me that the outside paths on the main track may be where you wanna be today. Fractions were soft and inside speed collapsed and noone made a good run on the rail.
Pay attention to the next dirt race or two if you are playing later in the card today, my gut feeling is that outside is where you wanna be.

Watch for horses who attempted the sweeping move at Saratoga to no avail. many looked like they were moving into contention only to flatten out. That move plays well at BEL was was certain death at the Spa this summer.
