Thursday at Belmont and Hollywood

Today, Thursday, we look at a 2 year old Maiden Race at Belmont Park and an Allowance race at Hollywood Park.

Belmont Park Race 2 {5 furlongs~2 year old~Maiden Special Weight}
These types of races are sometines difficult to handicap.  This race has a field of six will go to the gate.  Two have been scratched from the original field of eight.  Bail Out the Cat (A. Garcia / Violette) has put in a series of great workouts.  Trainer, Richard Violette has a 20% win rate with two year olds and this colt is a grandson of Storm Cat.  Pluck (J. Velazquez / Pletcher) has put in five very fine workouts.  Trainer, Todd Pletcher has a 24% win rate with two year olds and this colt's sire is More Than Ready.  We believe he should be too.  Gold Necessities (Cohen / Breen) has a good workout tab.  Trainer, Kelly Breen has a 28% win rate and this colt's sire is Seeking the Gold.  We thing he will be.  Let's play the 2 year olds at Belmont Park.

$2 SHOW:  #1 Bail Out the Cat
$2 SHOW:  #7 Pluck
NO 10 CENT Superfecta due to the early scratches.

Hollywood Park Race 7 {6 furlongs~Turf~3 year old~Allowance}
A very nice Turf race will unfold this afternoon in Tinsel Town.  A field of eight will go to the gate.  Sirocco Strike (V.

Garcia / Sadler) looks solid with the third highest last out speed number and three well-built, peaking workouts.  Bradium (T. Baze / Glatt) looks fabulous with a decent last out speed number, a 100% in the money record at the distance, and two hardy workouts.  Let's play Hollywood Park.
