BELMONT: Wed., 10/4

[Kasept]

It's a fun and tricky card at Belmont today, and that means potential for some prices on top and underneath.. I didn't "cap" it, but the 3rd is the actual feature Wednesday with several top quality sprinters contesting the )C/N3X. Mach Speed and Callmetony figure to be best, but Mike Trombetta sends Procreate in, and the Dutrow entry of Bucharest/Mr. Whitestone is OK. Should be a good one...

LATE NOTE: Turns out that there is a $60,000 carryover today! A bit curious as it looked like the "6" had paid Sunday when I looked at it on DRF's results... In addition, BRISnet's Handicapper's Edge DOESN'T list it as a Carryover on their alert page.. Changes didn't affect our selections, so let's add an <$100 P6 play to today's stabs! (See below)...

8th: ALW/N1X, NYB-3+, 6f-T (DD, Superfecta)

#1 Democrat is the key here trying turf first time.. Is simply faster than those signed on, and will be tough to beat if lawn to his liking.. Sire A.P. Jet hits 7.8% first time turf (8.2% with his turf runners overall), while trainer Hushion wins 14% trying barn on grass.. Your call..

LONGSHOT(S)/SUPER ADD(S): #3 Sigh You (12-1) and #9 A Wild Minute (10-1) both look usable on the bottom of your tri and super spreads..
