Weekend Winners Club

Friday, June 10, 2022.  Belmont Park is on the eve of the coveted Belmont Stakes card which will host 8 Grade 1 races on Saturday, which is awesome by the way.  But I like today’s card just as much.  The fields are larger and there are 5 graded races.

.

Today there are many of options to choose from, with over 100 horses slated to run in the 11 races on the card.  The quality of the fields is significant, as they are very competitive fields.  Oh I almost forgot, get the Friday Free Grid here to follow along.

R1 12:50ET 8f D MSW 3 UP  90000

starts as wide open, but I’m tempted to single Artorius, but the unraced Warrior Nation is worrisome at 12-1 ML, and Shreveport at 6-1?! So you don’t want to miss out on those odds.

I love the long turf field, and the possibility of getting Radiant Gem at anywhere near 10-1.  The facts are she has the best PF’s on turf and AW.  I doubt we’ll get 10-1 but that would be nice.

Field of only 4, but unfortunately at least 2 of the fillies stand strong, and they have the odds on.

R4 2:29ET 6f D Alw 92000n1x 3 UP 

I want to single Prisoner but will likely use Scilly Cay as well.  Prisoner is the WPS bet.

.

R5 3:03ET 7f T OClm 62500n2x 3 UP FM

Ready to Venture at 5-1, are you kidding me? Of course she won’t be at post time, and will likely win this race at 2-1.  I’m not sure what Athwaaq means but she’s strong at 6-1, along with Fousia at 20-1.  I want to single Ready to Venture but Fouzia is coupled on my card.

.

R6 3:36ET 6f t MSW 3 UP  75000

I really want to single the 4-rules  HeymanckI’mhorriblynamed, but I don’t know if his speed will hold up.  Built to Last and Yarrow will compete, and I don’t doubt first timer Full Complement.

R7 4:09ET 6f D Alw 92000n1x 3 UP FM

It Speaks for Itself.  Jane Grey might steal it on a late run. The other options are null.

.

R8 4:42ET 16f T BelGldCp-G2 4 UP 

You have 4 choices, 1-4, include all of them in your rollers.

.

R9 5:17ET 6.5f D TruNrth-G2 4 UP 

You want to single Jackie’s Warrior, but you know that as a frontrunner in a race with 3 other frontunner, he can lose.  Who better than the late runner Sound Money at 9-2?  Short field so just play the rollers.

.

R10 5:50ET 10f t NewYork-G1 4 UP FM

I wish there were an easy single in this sequence, and Rougir is awesome, but Va Joy, Bleeker St, and Family Way are serious contenders… If I single it will be Rougir.

.

R11 6:22ET 6f T Intcntnt-G3 4 UP FM

If there’s a race you go deep on your verticals, it’s this one. My number 1 and 3 are both double digit morning lines!  My 5^th choice is 20-1!!  Lady Edith. Ideally you could wheel all in this one, but The Grass Is Blue, yeah it normally is first time on grass, and 50-1, yes please!
