10/4: Belmont; Keeneland; Woodbine; ++
 

Tough ending to strong Friday chasing the Belmont triple carryover and falling short in the last leg. Had plenty of opportunities to hit though at the 4 venues selected and hope you did well. On road this a.m. early and wiill feed selections out through the morning as best I can for the huge afternoon of action today..

Woodbine
 

Hi Steve, thanks for your looks, i did not hear your show Fri. was Bogey on with his looks and is seaside in to deep at wood today? Peter B.:$:

Gus was not on yesterday as he is off for a long weekend... Michigan I think he said.

I don't think Seaside Retreat is a win candidate today among that group, but I think he is OK as a board-hitting price type... Prefer Marsh Side a tad more though.

G/L!

steve - ap cardinal hill could run huge in the champ. can he be used on top?

Not sure he can be considered a win candidate. Would look more when they get to 2 turning. Rumored to be a nice horse. Cam Gambolati and are from the same hometown... Manchester, CT.

if this horse stays healthy watch out

He will be last if everyone else finishes.

pyro lol..

Gio Ponti/Wesley
 

Any interest in Wesley, crazy move by Castellano at Delaware Park in his loss to Adriano? Not sure he would have won, but certainly compromised his chances to place, plus really like the catch ride for Prado... Maybe not as good as Gio Ponti, but just as logical as the rest...

Frizette
 

#10 Gemswick Park was the winner of Aldebutante's debut race on 9-14 at BEL.

A horse under the radar could be Dysfunction in the Phoenix, watch his replay against Fatal Bullet on July 20. At a price he is extremely interesting.

Shakis... A horse for the course.. And the course is Saratoga...

5: 5
6: 1,2,8,9,13
7: 1,5,8,10

HUGE hit on the 'Best Value' in the Woodford Steve. Well done, tough one to have.

Late pk4 at Belmont split with pmac

7- 3,9,12
8- 2,5,9,10
9- 3,5,7,9
10- 1,2,4

Good Luck!

Followed up by a nice 9-1 shot in the Lane's Futurity. P3 payoffs should be ridiculous again Steve. I hope your playing these...

Hooves had #8 Square Eddy on top as well. I guess great minds think alike!!

I loved that #8 as well. Horse was crying out to go long, watching that 6F race @ Kempton, with that pedigree.

I am taking a shot with Gemswick Park in the Frizette. $20 WP 10.

I like 8-Brave Victory and 3 Vineyard Haven in the Champagne

I am taking a shot with Gone Astray here. Good Luck!
