Default 6/5: Belmont Park (Belmont Stakes Day)

Carryover cards at Belmont and Hollywood both proved trickier than they looked Friday as New York went unhit and California returned $65k to clever ducats. At Elmont, Sciacca struck again to contribute to the double carryover into Belmont Stakes Day, with overlay Loyal Shadow, the on top 'Best Value' tab, flying late down the stretch to pay $24.60. At that point, I felt good about the P6 play that was 3 for 3, but the wheels came off the rest of the way. The double carryover is something of a moot point in terms of the pool today given that NYRA is offering a $1,000,000 guarantee anyway. There is also a $1MM P4 on the all stakes 8th-11th. The Belmont card is a varied and fun slate that should produce some surprises. At Inglewood, no 'impossible' horse won, but just enough iffy includes scored to reward those that invested. Hope you did well, and hope you've enjoyed the Met Mile-Belmont Week coverage live from 'American Ascot'...

Wild assembly of soph filly talent with Oaks runners cutting back and sprinters stretching out. Suppose Amen Hallelujah is the likeliest winner if she runs her "A" race, but there are plenty of alternative scenarios including Jimmy Toner's daughter of the wonderful Soaring Softly (#8) Much Rejoicing who has unlimited upside after two impressive performances in her debut and second start. One implausible but potentially lucrative development could be wickedly fast Champagne d'Oro loose on the lead. She will be an enormous price (30-1 ML with chance to float higher), and could get very brave down the stretch if allowed any leeway early..

Slightly offbeat Triple Crown season draws to a close with a very well-matched set of sophomores that offer varying degrees of experience, aptitude and ability. As always, the mile and a half provides the intrigue, and though the Derby and Preakness runners up are the obvious players, the race 'feels' wide open. As I wrote though in the Xpressbet Wagering Guide, horses exiting the TC events have been overwhelmingly successful in the Test of the Champion, and are the keys to my approach today. I'll include Uptowncharlybrown and Stay Put on my tickets as well. Hope you have enjoyed ATR coverage of the Triple Crown, and I hope everyone has a great Belmont Day...
