Belmont Wednesday June 13

[Kitan]

Still got the fever after Belmont weekend so let's give this one more try.

Race 1:
#5 Team Colors
#4 Weekend Express
#9 Souperfast
#3 Shamcat

Race 2:
#7 Jazzy J: Average sales work but got over the ground well. Didn't seem to handle the downpour and mud but it was still a decent debut behind a Ward runaway. Martin hits at a good clip in these spots.
#1 Dizzy: May want a bit further but Rudy hits at a near 25% clip with these types of debutantes.
#2 Brass Ring
#6 South of France

Race 3:
#3 Bengala: Just hung on NA debut behind a runner who came back to take out a Stakes at Churchill. Deserved fav.
#6 Double Cast
#1 Violet Blue

Race 4:
#13 Flippity Flop is SCR...
#10 Scripted: Didn't seem to appreciate the sloppy track last time out. Half of her sibs that won did it on turf.
#9 Goldtown: Did get checked back to last, but thought she still could have closed a bit better. Was in a photo for 4th-7th, and PPs look a bit different if it was a 7th place finish.
#11 Hit a Provision: 2nd dam was a three time Stakes winner in England, albeit over much further.
#2 Nazay

Race 5:
#5 Local Counsel
#4 Surface Strike
#3 One More Tom
#2 Ninja Boys

Race 6:
#2 Wushu Warrior: 4 across the track at the wire when he won, but he had a troubled trip against older and showed he can come from off the pace. Has other speed to run at here.
#10 Heyitsnricopalazo
#6 American Power
#11 Hard Way Winner

Race 7:
#9 Strawberry Tequila: Have to think something was amiss last time...
#6 Rachel's Blue Moon
#8 Tayler's the Boss
#7 My Roxy Girl

Race 8:
#5 Seeking the Blue: Jumped sideways at the start when last seen in April. Extra distance should be in her favour and with a cleaner break should be right there early.
#4 Might Be: Heavy ML fav a bit vulnerable as both her wins came with slow paces.
#6 Salty Smile

Race 9:
#2 Zecha: Didn't look all too comfortable rating between horses last out in her turf debut. I think Carmouche will be aggressive here from an inside draw, adding blinkers, and dropping to MCL-level. Not much turf pedigree on the bottom, however, although Levine keeps her on the surface.
#10 J C S Star
#9 Andretta
#1 Fiveinthemorning

$0.60 Early Pick Five

Race 2: 1, 7

Thanks Kitan.

Race 7 seems pretty open to me. The M/L favorite has run and won one race, last year. I never like to put money on a horse like that, especially given that there will probably be more early speed this time around. I’ve been interested by the #5 Downtown at Noon...but I’m going to take a look at the ones you mentioned because I may like the #6 Rachel’s Blue Moon a little more.

Definitely can win but I'll take a shot against. Wide open race. 5 finally got over the top last time and that can be the catalyst for confidence. Best of luck.

Im betting your top pick in the second race

Disappointed to see the 13 Flippity Flop scratched from Race 4. I was on board with you on her.

I’m going to back the 4 Chenais’ Posse in that one now. She has come back running better in 2018 and I like that she’s returning to 6f after trying out a mile. I’m not sure she can win this one...but she’s probably going to go off above 20-1 so I really like the value there.

Good luck to you as well.

And I completely missed that the 5 was beaten by the same Ward horse, and another who ran in a stakes on the weekend...stupid idiot I am

[Alabama Stakes]

Late double of 4&1 is the coldest of cold doubles I’ve bet in a while.

Give the inside speed 47 to the half in a 6f race... my own fault for not using her in the late P4 at least.

That was a nice overlay, with both horses somehow double digit odds!

I used the 8 a bit (was in my P4 numbers) but jeez that was a tough bob for both of you.
