Belmont today

Race 1- Tricky off the turf race where the 3 contenders I like all lack spped which is usually valued on a wet track.
The way to play it is to try and beat the big fave of Frankel's #10 Determinator. Frankel is usually a must play off a trainer switch to him but this one came from the always deadly Cole Norman so the improvement may not be so big. Horse teh best figs but lacks speed. At the short price use him underneath in exactas and tri's and try to get home #'s 3 or 5 on top.
race 2- Pletcher vs Mclaughlin in a 4 horse field. Not betting the race but will use both in pik-4's to start off.
race 3- A two horse affair between # 3 Time To Grow Up and #6 Its the Ritz. WIll use both in pik-4's but give the edge and press bet to Time to Grow up, who has been senational in his last two and posesses more speed than his main opponent.
race 4- #2 Any Which Way drops into NY bred maiden claiming race off a 4th in an open MSW at Charles Town. Swtiches trainers to Domino and is a late announced FIRST TIME GELDING. Also use #3 Prince Billy who has good back figures and drops down to claiming level after showing speed last time on the grass, hence the old "off the grass and down in class" angle.Include meeses two Pieces in your pik-4's as well off the trainer switch to galluscio from Friedman and the drop down in class.
race 5- Love#5 Lime King here. Sharp winner last time out at Philly in a claiming race and won a NY bred MSW three back in the slop. save with #'s 4 and 8.
Pik-4 play- 1,4 (press the 1)
3,6 (press the 6)
2,3,5(press the 2)
4,5,8 (press the 5)

race 6- Impossible race, not worth playing
race 7- see notes on race 6
race 8- very soft turf often equals wacky results, no thanks, I will pass
race 9- Impossible race, no thank you
