5/19: Belmont ($124k Carry)

[Kasept]

Curiously similar positive performance Friday at Belmont to Thursday, as the 5th race winner is the only one that eludes again.. Terrible decision by me to start the P4, using the 1st and 3rd choices in the 6th omitting 2nd choice Limoncella. The move cost us all a $2,090 payout, though the P3 out of the skein still returned $377.00. But back to back sweeps of the 6th and 7th were highly lucrative, with the Tri in the 6th bringing home $442.75, and the 7th race exotic boxes/keyes scoring out with overlaid 2nd choice Pangburn paying a crazy $48.80: EX-$83.00; TRI-$250.50; SUPER-$861.00.. Hope you did well..

Double carryover of $124,000 into Saturday's card..

7th: NYB-ALW/N1X, 3+, 1m-T (P3, Super)

Wide open Empire turf mile that could produce 8-9 different winners.. Day hinges here to a large extent.. Leaving ML favorites #9/#11 out of race picks looking for a score with value horses, but inclined to cover them in multi-race plays.. This is an impossible race..

1. #8 Bayou Timber 6-1 2nd
2. #7 Big Bad Monster 12-1 4th
A. #2 SCR SUB #3 Gold and Blue Box 12-1 5th
B. #5 Time Piece 15-1 7th

<$200 P6 Play:

4: 4-5-7
5: 6
6: 2-3
7: 5-7-8-9
8: 1-6
9: 5-8

3x1x2x4x2x2 = 96 x $2 = $192


<$50 P4/P3 Plays:

Offering odd approach here looking for big ticket singling Silmaril in the Shuvee and using as many as posible in the 7th.. "ALT" play offers more traditional approach for $54..

6: 2-3
7: 3-4-5-6-7-8-9-11 (ALT: 2-SCR-8-9)
8: 6 (ALT: 1-3-6)
9: 5-6-8

2x8x1x3 = $48 (ALT: 2x2x3x3 = $36)


Good luck!
