6/6: Belmont (7th-10th)
Thursday again saw a big portion of the day's action truncated as the opener and night cap of late quad came of the 'good' turf. Laid out the meager tris for the 6th, 8th and 9th in the revised tabs, but a heartbreaker came in the 7th when 2nd and 3rd choices Sensational Humor (13-1) and True Dancer (21-1) looked like an exacta within yards of the wire before Operation Red Dawn caught them. Hope you did well. Brooklyn and Hill Prince top Friday's activities at Belmont before the huge day tomorrow...

History Beckons on SAT at Belmont with an outstanding card assembled. Here's a look at the two Graded Stakes on Friday.
Belmont Park R9 - G2 Brooklyn Handicap #1 Evening Attire - Old man (10 yr old) has earned over $2.7 million, but has struggled at BEL, just 1 for 18. #2 Delosvientos - Has won last 4 on dirt going over a mile including a sharp front running victory on May 15th on this strip. Will be a tough customer again on the front end in a race that lacks pace. #3 Angliana - Expecting a better effort after having trouble at the break, catching a sloppy track, and carrying 8 extra pounds in latest. #4 Sightseeing - Should enjoy the marathon trip and both his career wins have been at Big Sandy. #5 Imawildandcrazyguy - Struggled to beat a sprinter in a route race at CRC and simply has not shown a liking outside of Calder. Minor award at best. #6 Nite Light - Keeps on improving with victories in 4 of last 5 and Pletcher has had success spacing his last couple of starts. #7 Awfully Smart - Came up with a case of fleas, so they had to scratch him. Selections #2 Delosvientos #6 Nite Light #4 Sightseeing #3 Angliana DD - 2 / 2 Ex Bx - 2 / 3 4 6 R10 - G3 Hill Prince (Turf) #1 Titan of Industry - Must step up his game at his preferred distance and would consider at a price underneath. #2 Hatta Fort (GB) - Solid race at KEE should set him up well for this as he tries his longest distance in his career. Top connections will have him ready. #3 Moral Compass - Won on this turf course last month and was within a length in the G3 Palm Beach at GP. Definitely in the mix. #4 Spark Candle - Regally bred stablemate of Casino Drive actually cuts back to shortest distance in career. Made his debut at 1 1/8 miles in Japan. Japanese connections looking for big weekend. #5 Writingonthewall - Empire bred taking a shot with trainer that has plenty of success with quick turnarounds. #6 Dynhocracy - Florida invader is best on the lawn as Kaplan brings a four pack to the Big Apple this weekend. #7 Prussian - Mott runner disappointed as the favorite in last two, but could be left alone on the front end. #8 Gio Ponti - Showed talent early, but has been off since the BC Juvy Turf. Clement always dangerous off the bench and the string of works on the BEL turf look decent. Selections #2 Hatta Fort (GB) #8 Gio Ponti #7 Prussian #3 Moral Compass Tri Key - 2 / 3 7 8 Good Racing Luck

Gus,
At the risk of showing how completely ignorant I am is your wager of Ex Box 2 / 3,4,6 the same as two exacta part wheels consisting of the 2 with the 3,4,6 and also the 3,4,6 with the 2? So basically the 2 has to either win or run second in order for you to cash?
