WKND: BEL/KEE/WO, etc.
Very good day at both BEL and KEE Friday as we continue to get a feel for the all-weather surface at Lexington. The BEL P6 carryover was well within reach with 1 top choice, 3 2nd choices and 2 3rd choices winning. Five exactas and two triples were de;ivered among the wet results at Elmont. Keeneland remains a tricky read, and though we only hit three of the six in our $216 play, the 7th race straight triple, 8th race super box and Valley View exacta were all cashed. Finally, on "At the Races and Beyond" with Gus Alonso, we helped nab the OK Derby with our suggestion ("Include the #3 and the #9 as your price plays") and his top picks. The result was the $11,000 superfecta... Hope everyone did well...
Saturday, the focus is on NY's state bred Showcase Day, and we also look at a few of the other stakes around the country as racing winds down at Belmont, Keeneland and Santa Anita with Aqueduct, Churchill and Hollywood opening over the next 10 days...

Steve, you mentioned the 9 and 3 during (ATRAB) the show and I mentioned the 2 and 6 in the Oklahoma Derby at Remington Park. I hope somebody was listening because the Super came back over $11,000 for a buck. Nice call on the 9.
