Multiple mid-priced winners and a 25-1 nightcap upsetter made the double C/O sequence at Belmont impossible to negotiate Wednesday and a three day $540k is available Thursday as a result. Let's go!


BELMONT PARK


POST-SCRATCHES


1st: William Entenmann Mem., 4+, 18f-National Fences (P5, P3, DD)

Had hoped to get away with P5 single of Martini Brother (as part of Pape/Sheppard entry), but Clorevia Farm entry (Dr. Skip/Extraextraordinary) and improving mare Cat Feathers may need coverage..

Most Likely: #1e Sheppard entry 7-5 2nd/6th
Best Value: #4 Cat Feathers 5-1 4th
Next Best: #2e Clorevia Farm entry 3-1 5th/DNF-Fell
Exotics Use: #6 Cognashene 15-1 DNF-Fell


2nd: Lonesome Glory H. (G1), 4+, 20f-National Fences (P3, DD)

As discussed with Bill Gallo Wednesday on ATR, chases downstate are a test of stamina as opposed to upstate where the premium is on speed and agility. 2012 Championship challenger Demonstrative and 'now horse' Italian Wedding (POE) are the prime players here and co-horses to beat. Gustavian won last year's Entenmann here and Hunt Ball (the 'other' Sheppard) gets first Lasix and should prefer the grander layout of Belmont's hop course..

Best Value: #7 Hunt Ball 12-1 6th
Next Best: #2 Demonstrative 7-2 4th
Exotics Use: #1a (POE) Italian Wedding 2-1 3rd/7th
