Belmont Park Sat. June 13: Ogden Phipps: Breeders Cup Challenge; Precap and Picks
.
Saturday, June 13, Belmont Park hosts a Breeders Cup Challenge Race today: the Grade 1 Ogden Phipps for a ticket to the Breeders Cup Distaff G1 at Keeneland the first weekend in November. Aside from that, 100 horses are running in 10 races after morning scratches, with competitive fields and purses.
.
.
The G1 Phipps is the 2nd shortest field of the day with only 6 fillies and mares competing at 8.5f on the dirt, but is not short on talent. All of the runners except She’s a Julie look ready to take on the two favorites Point of Honor and Ollie’s Candy. But high LP belongs to Golden Award so watch out.
.
The rest of the picks below are for recreational purposes, unless you desire to use them to make some Big Bucks at Belmont today. In that case, they’re for your health and welfare. Keep an eye out for the long shot specials (LSS) and the picks are listed in order of predicted finish.
.
The conditions at Belmont today are fast and firm, with the weather outlook sunny and lukewarm with almost no chance of rain, so it will be a great day for racing on dirt and grass. First grab the free Grid provided today to follow along.

I counted a lot of LSS’s so that means a lot of these races are very competitive and should be good for wagering. Of course after the scratches a lot of those morning line odds will come down and only half of the LSS’s will be still be long shots, but that’s how it is before races start.
