Pimlico Race 9 Hilltop Breeders Cup Stakes
Play #7 My Typhoon (for turf only)
How often do you see Jerry Bailey ship in for a $75,000 stakes? Well, never. But this horse is likely to be a monster and Bailey doesn't want to lose the mount. Makes first start as three year old after stunning Saratoga maiden win last year. Daughter of Giant's Causewayand is half-sister to three stakes winners. Trained by Bill Mott. Likely to be about even money but should be 1-5.
Belmont Park Race 3
Play #6 Mombo Loco
Trainer Mike Hushion is on fire. Horse has just missed two races in row and drops to $50,000 claimer from 2x allowance. gets outside post in small six horse field and will press a mild pace. Caution: this horse has seconditis lately so I would bet to win AND place.
Belmont Park Race 4
Play #6 Chastise
Coincidence that I have back-to-back plays at the same track. Maiden makes third career start. Ships in from Penn National for high percentage trainer. Might not be favored because of a Pletcher first starter with shocking breeding (Seattle Slew out of the dam of Boston Harbor). This helps our price. Horse ran a 93 Beyer last out in just missing and has a fast work back. Wire to wire.
Belmont Park Race 8 Gr. II Genuine Risk Handicap
Play #5 Forty Moves
Another one from a hot trainer. Finished second in a Grade III last out at Gulfstream. Shoulkd stalk a fairly hot price. We might get 5-1 because the race is wide open and Bob Baffert ships one in from Calif.
Arlington Park Race 1
Play #7 Clever Comique
First off the claim for a trainer with an amazing 44% first claim rate. Bad barn to good barn. Bullet work for this. Stays at same $17,500 claiming level where she was third last out.
