Noble Damsel Stakes - Race 8 at Belmont - Post Time 3:47 PM High Opinion, In a Hurry and Tamahere are the main contenders to win this race. High Opinion ran the best race of her career when last seen at the end of August when rallying up the rail late to miss by a nose in the Grade 2 Ballston Spa Stakes. Moving down one notch for this Grade 3 Noble Damsel Stakes, Saez stays aboard after being up for the first time and that effort if repeated here wins, as well as [...]

October 15th – Thrilling Picks Select Picks

Belmont Friday October 15 The early races at Belmont Friday look destined to produce chalky outcomes. Below are our selections that can be used to build multi-race wagers (doubles, PICK3/4/5). These horses fit custom models we built for today's unique races. RACE 1 #2, 3, 5 Don't get seduced into singling the heavy favorite #2 Corkman. Favorites always have lost this race type, forced to settle for 2nd place. #5 Flight To Paradise has the earnings advantage, an important attribute found in past winners, the best contender to over-take the favorite. RACE 2 #1/1A , [...]

Race 5 at Belmont - Post Time 2:43 PM Happy Hill Lil goes for her third straight win and although the first of the two came in a maiden claiming race and the most recent came in a non-winners of two races lifetime claiming race she fits perfectly here. Both wins came in turf sprints and the 85 and 81 Equibase Figures are BETTER than the figures earned by horses which have finished in the money recently at this first allowance level for NY Breds. She rallied from 10th in the first of the [...]

Key Horse Races & Expert Handicapper Bets – October 9, 2021

Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Stakes - Race 7 at Belmont - Post Time 3:47PM Eastern Four horses are pretty much inseparable in terms of probability to win. They are Arklow, Gufo, Channel Maker and Japan. HOWEVER, if the morning line disparities hold up, both Arklow and Channel Maker will offer superb value as win bets and keys in the exacta as we will try to split the other two (keep them from running first and second). Arklow won this in 2019, off a third in the Bowling Green two before that and a second [...]

The Woodward

The Woodward may not quite have the prestige it once did but it is still a great horse race, and this year looks to have possible Breeders’ Cup ramifications. At least a few of these must have their eyes on the big show if they can step up and run a big one. We’ll look at the Woodward and see how it shakes out. Dr. Post breaks from the rail and will have to rally from off the pace to win this. I don’t think the one turn does him any favors or does [...]
