9/15: Belmont (Gazelle Day)

[Kasept]

Enjoyed 2nd straight quality day Friday doing best work early in P6 series.. 4th-6th P3 yields $225.00 ($24 play) catching $14 Another Gulch in the first leg and $21.00 top value tab Too Tired Tonight ending the troika. Trifecta ($182.00) in the 5th boosted day with 18-1 value player Ballymist a good 2nd before "Too Tired" keyed the 6th race $625.00 Super, $206 Tri and $82.00 Exacta.. Wheels came off late missing Schosberg's Sunshine for Life, making second turf start and stretching.. Carryover of $47,000 into big Saturday card that seems certain to be affected by inclement weather.. Hope you did well Friday!


BELMONT PARK


Conditions are real concern for action on this good card.. Turf likely good at best and main track should be speed-favoring after being packed down Friday evening by NYRA track super/paving contractor Passero.. May 'wait and see' early in the day..

Paving contractor, LOL!

Showers expected to end here by first post. Should be fast/good by the time of the big races.
