I’ve got an early golf game Saturday morning, but there is a lot of good racing in the afternoon that I will be playing. Here are some nuke plays to consider at Belmont and Churchill if you want to yell at your screen today.
Belmont Park Race 2 1:32 EST Eric Cancel climbs aboard 3 The Big Grey, a new Randi Persaud claimer. Only betting at 20-1 or higher.
Churchill Downs Race 3 1:43 EST If 4-1 sticks on the 7 Improbable Journey, it demands a win bet. The favorite is vulnerable here.
Churchill Downs Race 4 2:13 EST Hammer Sheet always upgrades a gray, and here we have 4 Surveillance, a gelding that I feel comfortable betting at 5-1 or higher.
Belmont Park Race 4 2:34 EST The 3 Hieroglyphics (out of Pioneerof the Nile) puts blinkers back on and should rate. Has faced tougher to no avail. Bet at 15-1 or higher.
Belmont Park Race 6 3:34 EST The 8 Makin My Move has been working well and certified ninja Luis Saez stays in the irons. Could go gate-to-wire. Morning line is 3-1. And I won’t bet anything less than that.
Churchill Downs Race 7 3:50 EST The 3 Eleven Central tries turf for the first time, which should be his preferred surface and distance. Morning line set at 6-1. I think it will float up quite a bit and we might be able to get double-digit odds. Bet at 15-1 or higher.
Belmont Park Race 7 4:06 EST I really want to bet the 5 Rally Squirrel, but it must be 3-1 or higher. Rosario up again for the Mike Maker trainee.
Belmont Park Race 9 5:12 EST The 9 Derrynane stretches out to what should be her preferred distance in this Grade 3 stakes race. Smash at 4-1 or better. Don’t know if we can get it, but we’ll see.
Best of luck!
