Belont at the Big A • Race 7 • Allowance NW1 • 3YO+ • 3:50 EST Irad Ortiz, Jr. teams up with trainer Horacio De Paz to ride 6 Citizen K today. This 4-year-old is 4-1-1-0 in the last six months. Pace projection has him mid-pack and should benefit from Irad’s aggressive riding for a closing run. A price horse I have my eye on is 3 Battle Scars. A jockey switch to Dylan Davis could certainly have a positive impact, and the pedigree screams 8.5 furlongs on turf. He’s won against better and could certainly spring an upset today. We’d be foolish not to include 12 Marinara Sauced in our verticals. Trainer Chad Brown makes a jockey switch to Joel Rosario, a duo that hits at 33%.
Bet: $1 Exacta box 3,6,12 and $2 Win-Place on 6 $10 total
Best of luck!
