7/16: Belmont Park (P4); Colonial Downs (P5)

[Kasept]

It was another day of generally good results Friday attacking the sextet at Belmont, but money was also left on the table leaving 'Super Add' 4th choice Marblehead Manor out of the play. There were excellent rolling P3 hits throughout the sequence, with $15 Close to the Vest and $12 Coax Liberty helping make it a very nice afternoon... But the P4 payoff of $1,400+ was very generous, and I had no excuse for not bringing that home too. The spot I regret was the feature where it proved unnecessary to go 4 deep. I liked top tab 'Best Value' Coax Liberty a great deal in there, and didn't need to be so worried about a less predictable result. I was shocked that the P6 went to one winner, a success worth more than $114,000. Hope you did well! Hollywood and Belmont reach closing weekends, while Delaware and Colonial have their second important Saturdays of the summer. Opinions below before heading over to Saratoga to continue preparations for next week's opening!
