5/5: Belmont Park (4th-9th)

[Kasept]

Full Derby-Oaks Weekend recap tomorrow with the $970k Churchill carryover, but in the meantime, good old weekday action resumes with the sextet at Belmont... Hope everyone enjoyed the weekend and profitted from the insights the ATR lineup tried to provide here and on ATR. More tomorrow.

As mentioned on ATR yesterday, Rich Migliore underwent successful surgery Tuesday. Here is a post box address if you wish to send a card or note to Mig. He'll really appreciate it...
