Belmont at the Big A • Race 4 • Empire Classic Stakes (Non-graded) • 3YO+ • 2:12 EST Woo-Hee! Lots of early speed lined up here. The trio of 1 Montebello, 3 Sea Foam, and 4 Dr. Blute should battle for the early lead. That leaves 2 Barese to get first run at the leaders when the pace collapses. I like 7 Brooklyn Strong at a price to get a piece underneath on the switch to jockey Flavien Prat. Finished third in his last four races.
Picks: 2-4-7-6
Best of luck!
