Belmont Park Race 8 Gr.2 Peter Pan Stakes Play #6 Swingforthefences
Wide open race with several horses hoping to use a win here to springboard into Belmont Stakes in two weeks. My pick is coming off a six week rest after finishing fourth in the Wood Memorial. Solid workouts. Stalking style perfect for the unique layout of Belmont's course (1 1/8 mile race around only one turn). Should get 5-1.
Belmont Park Race 6 Play #4 Boasting
Third start of life. Won maiden race at Santa Anita in February. Ships east with top trainer Bobby Frankel and gets great turf rider Jerry Bailey. Breeding indicates she'll handle the stretchout in distance. Future stakes horse. (Pick is for TURF ONLY)
Arlington Park Race 5 Play #5 Ex Who
We won't get much of a price but this horse is clearly spotted for a win by last year's leading Arlington trainer Wayne Catalano. Catalano has lost his major owner so wants to get started with a good impression with his first starter of the meet. Horse finished third in a stakes race at Mountaineer and now drops all the way down to a $30,000 claimer.
Arlington Park Race 6 Play #12 Shrewd Stipulation
Made one start last year as a three year old finishing second at Keeneland. Was injured in race. Makes second career start at far outside post. Outside has been place to be so far at this meet.
Arlington Race 10 Play #1 Viva Pentelicus
Trained by aforementioned Catalano and ridden by Arlington top jockey Rene Douglas. Was running in $40,000 grass claimers in Southern Cal and now moves to a lesser track and takes big drop in claiming price besides. (Pick is for TURF ONLY)
Criteria: best value for likely winners. Plays rated at $10 to win and place.
