We spend this Superfecta Sunday looking at a splendid Stakes route for fillies and mares along the Jersey shore.
Monmouth Park Race 9 {Lighthouse~1 1/16 mile~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Stakes}
A compact field of seven talented fillies and mares will go off in this feature stakes race. All in here have the ability to show speed as well as like to be forwardly placed or close to the pace. It could develop as a very tactical race with those that position well getting to the wire first. Let's try to fashion a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.
#7 Moon Philly (Pimentel / Trombetta) is coming up from Maryland for this one and looks to have a slight edge. She holds the second highest last out speed number and has put in four sensational peaking workouts that include three bullets. This gal has an impressive in the money record at both the distance and overall, hitting the board 80% of the time. She is our Bronze Horseshoe runner.
$2 SHOW.
#2 Cash for Clunkers (Serpa / Violette) is coming off an extended layoff, but holds the highest speed number at the distance, a triple digit, as well as a 100% in the money record at same over four races. She has put in two solid workouts in preparation.
#5 Successful Song (Trujillo / Plesa) is coming off a brief layoff with three quality workouts during the month of June. Prior to the layoff she holds the third highest (tie) last out speed number and has run exceptionally well at this distance, hitting the board 80% of the time in fifteen starts.
#6 Withgreatpleasure (Rivera / Nunn) should be in the thick of things sharing the third highest last out speed number and putting in one diligent workout. She also holds the third highest speed number at the distance. This gal will be close to the pace ready to strike.

Stakes Saturday the Belmont Way
On this Stakes Saturday, we take a look at a very contentious Turf route.
Belmont Park Race 8 {New York~G2~1 1/4 mile~ inner TURF~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Stakes}
An exceptionally talented field of eight fillies and mares will take to the grass in this annual race. There is enough speed to keep the pace honest allowing for any running style to be triumphant. It is interesting to note that five in field are coming out of an excellent running of the Sheephead Bay run on May 25th at Belmont. The New York should be a great race.
#4 Tannery (Saez / Goldberg) has a slight edge with the highest last out speed number, a five race progression, and one terrific workout. She will be tracking the pace and launch into the stretch. She also holds the second highest speed number at this distance.
$1 WIN / $2 SHOW.

$1 PLACE / $1 SHOW.
#7 Dream Peace (Rosario / C. Brown) is another that should challenge with a couple of good last out speed numbers and three hearty workouts. This gal also holds the third highest (tie) speed number at the distance. A lover of the Belmont course she should be tracking and closing swiftly.

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads everywhere.
On this pleasant Superfecta Sunday we take a look at a nice race at Monmouth.

With a short field we will shy away from the 10 CENT Superfecta Box and deploy what we like to call the "Lambrakis method". The strategy is named after superlative Southern California handicapper, Paul Lambrakis. Heck he wrote a book about it; The 10 Cent Superfecta Betting Guide, available at www.10centsuperfecta.com. We are in bankroll recovery mode now. Any assistance we can acquire will make for a good day.

Velazquez / Pletcher) should lead the field from start to finish. he may have disappointed in his last out, the Kentucky Derby, but this fella rolled to four straight wins prior to that start. He holds the second highest speed number at the distance and has put in three superb workouts. He appears ready to go back to his winning ways.
#6 Itsmyluckyday (Smith / Plesa) will challenge with the highest last out speed number, the highest speed number at the distance, a two race progression, and two top-notch workouts. He should track the pace and unleash in the stretch. If the pace gets hot, it could be his lucky day.
#3 Edge of Reality (Elliott / A. Dutrow) could be in the mix with a quality pressing attack. He holds the third best last out speed number, a three race progression, and three strong peaking workouts. This guy is one of the four Triple Crown nominees that has the potential to prove his mettle. He is our Bronze Horseshoe runner.
$2 SHOW.
Balance of the Field.
#4 Gefest (Trujillo / Dorochenko) could be forwardly placed and hold on to get a piece of the purse pie. His last outing was at this distance over Turf at Arlington Park which puts him in with the second best last out speed number. He is working a three race progression and has put in one excellent bullet workout.
#1 Reporting Star or #1A Kanturk Kid (Serpa / O'Connell) are coming out of a stakes race with decent speed numbers. Both have two hearty workouts. Depending on who gets the call, either could factor into the pace as well as the race.
#5 Bethel (Pedroza / Dorochenko) is the final Triple Crown nominee that still needs to prove himself. He has a couple of o.k. last out speed numbers. This guy would benefit greatly from a pace meltdown.

On this pleasant Superfecta Sunday we take a look at a nice race at Monmouth.
Monmouth Park R11 {Pegasus~G3~1 1/16 mile~3 year old~Stakes}
A compact field of six will make the start in this graded affair. There are four Triple Crown nominated horses in the race, two of which mad it to the big dance, KD 139. There is a fair amount of speed to keep the pace hot. This race will showcase two of the best three year-olds in the country. With a short field we will shy away from the 10 CENT Superfecta Box and deploy what we like to call the "Lambrakis method". The strategy is named after superlative Southern California handicapper, Paul Lambrakis. Heck he wrote a book about it; The 10 Cent Superfecta Betting Guide, available at www.10centsuperfecta.com.

Stakes Saturday at Belmont
We journey to Belmont on this Stakes Saturday for a little Turf.
Belmont Park Race 8 {Hill Prince~G3~1 mile~TURF~3 year old~Stakes}
An intriguing field of twelve will take to the grass in this graded stakes feature. There is an awful lot of speed in this one which could allow those coming from off the pace a great advantage. Most in here are coming off either freshenings or layoffs. It will be a tremendously contentious race.
#7 Michael With Us (G. Saez / DiMauro) looks to have a very slight edge with the highest last out speed number at a longer route, a three race progression, and two solid workouts. This son of Bluegrass Cat is shipping in to compete with this group and holds the highest speed number over the surface. He should be tracking the pace angling to close them down.
$1 WIN / $2 PLACE / $3 SHOW.
#11 Shining Copper (Solis / Aboughazale) should challenge with the second highest (tie) last out speed number, a two race progression, and two hearty workouts. This son of Aaragon [IRE] has a versatile running style that should put him into the thick of things. He holds the highest speed number at the distance.
$1 PLACE / $2 SHOW.
#9 Red Rifle (Castellano / Pletcher) will contend with the third highest last out speed number at a longer route, a two race progression, and four conscientious workouts. He is going to the TURF for the first time, but should handle it well as a son of Giant's Causeway. Expect him to be forwardly placed biding his time.
$1 SHOW.
Other Wagering Interests
#1 Sayaad (J. Espinoza / McLaughlin) could be in the mix sharing the second highest last out speed number prior to a short layoff. He was working a three race progression and has put in two robust workouts. This son of the great Street Sense has already posted a win over the Belmont Turf.
#8 Red Rocker [IRE] (Cohen / Meehan) should be in the hunt making his second career start after landing in the money in a stakes race across the pond in Great Britain. A son of Redback [GB], he is bred for the grass. Most Euros do well in the states against Turfers here, as the competition in Europe is much fiercer. Trained by World Class Trainer, Brian Meehan, it is hard to leave this guy out.
#5 Chamois (Alvarado / Clement) looks to improve after posting a couple of decent last out speed numbers. He is coming off a longer route carrying a two race progression and putting in three superb peaking workouts. His versatile running style will serve him well in this competitive Turf mile. A son of Smart Strike, he enjoys seriously good connections.
10 CENT Superfecta
We will be using a "coverall" strategy with the Euro invader, placing him in each of the superfecta positions.

#6 Katie's Event (Leparoux / Hollendorfer) looks very strong should a quick pace develop up front. He holds the second highest last out speed number, a four race progression, and two solid workouts. A strong closer, could pull this one off.

Known more for his superior route racing, he did win his debut, sprinting. It is possible he could wire this field.
#5 Majestic City (D. Flores / Ellis) should be in the mix with the fourth highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and four hearty workouts. He will be making his second start this year. This guy could be forwardly placed to get first jump on the leader.

Belmont Stakes Day
Stakes Saturday arrives with the last of the Triple Crown races, The Belmont Stakes.
Belmont Park Race 11 {Belmont Stakes~G1~1 1/2 mile~3 year old~Stakes}
A fantastic field of fourteen will break from the gate in this fabulous Triple Crown race. There are plenty of speedsters mixed with forwardly placed types to keep the pace rolling. The two big winners of the earlier Triple Crown races are back, Kentucky Derby 139 winner, Orb and Preakness 138 winner Oxbow. Both have a shot. World class trainer, Todd Pletcher, has five entrants in the race. Could his charges score the Exacta? Trifecta? Superfecta? All of them look well primed and have some of the leading riders in the country on-board. Belmont has experienced a good amount of rain over the last 24 hours which could put a damper on all handicapping efforts. But this is a big one, let's give it a whirl.
#9 Revolutionary (Castellano / Pletcher) is coming out of KD-139 with a nice rest, skipping the Preakness. He holds the third highest (tie) last out speed number, a three race progression, and two steady workouts. He should close just as vigorously as he did in the Derby, last out. This handsome son of War Pass appears ready to take another step forward for his wonderful connections, Winstar Farm, LLC.
$1 WIN / $2 PLACE / $3 SHOW.
#13 Unlimited Budget (Napravnik / Pletcher) will challenge these boys with heart and style. She has a magnificent pedigree as the great Street Sense is her Daddy and Unlimited Pleasure is her mum. She holds the fourth highest last out speed number and has put in three robust peaking workouts. She has the tactical speed to stay close to the pace and pounce in the stretch.
$1 PLACE / $2 SHOW.
#3 Overanalyze (J. Velazquez / Pletcher) should contend with a couple of decent last out speed numbers and three superb, peaking workouts. He has scored a victory over the Belmont track in one start over it. This wonderful son of Dixie Union is still improving and has an opportunity here to showcase his ability. Expect him to track and close swiftly into a fluid pace.

#5 Orb (Rosario / McGaughey) sure will be in the mix with his confident KD-139 win and foruth place finish in the Preakness. He did well speed number wise in his last out, The Preakness and has put in two dutiful workouts. Should the Belmont track come up wet, this son of Malibu Moon has an excellent shot to score again.
#6 Incognito (I. Ortiz / McLaughlin) could surprise with a couple of decent last out speed numbers and two solid workouts. This gray son of A.P. Indy certainly has the pedigree to last the distance and the ability to be a top stakes horse. Here is his chance to put it all together for his World class connections, Godolphin. Look for him to be tracking the pace setters and launch into the stretch.

Let's Go Long for Friday
On the eve of the third leg of the Triple Crown races, the Belmont Stakes, let's take a look at a race of the same distance for older horses.
Belmont Park Race 10 {Brooklyn Handicap~G2~1 1/2 mile~3 year old Up~Stakes}
An interesting crop of eight will go to the gate in this annual graded stakes race. There is enough speed coupled with tactically forwardly placed runners to keep the pace honest in this long one. Among this very diverse field, any one of these guys could pull off the victory. It comes up as a nice tune-up for the big race tomorrow.
#4 Calidoscopio [ARG] (Gryder / Puype) is a California invader that has a legitimate shot in this race with the third highest last out speed number and three supreme peaking workouts. He also holds the third highest speed number at the distance. This guy will be closing swiftly.

#8 Ruler On Ice (I. Ortiz / Breen) will challenge with the highest speed number at the distance scoring a victory. He has a couple of decent last out speed numbers, a three race progression, and one bullet workout going into this contest. He has the tactical speed to stay relatively close and take advantage of the pace.

#1 Birdrun (Alvarado / Mott) should also contend as a lover of the Belmont track. His last two races leave something to be desired, but he has scored two victories in three tries at this distance securing the second highest speed number at the distance. Expect him to be forwardly placed ready to get first jump on the field.

Superfecta Sunday at Hollywood, episode 3
We venture to Hollywood Park for a thrilling route on this Superfecta Sunday.
Betfair Hollywood Park Race 8 {Affirmed~G3~1 1/16 mile~3 year old~Stakes}
A great group of eight will jog over to the gate in this graded stakes race. Five in here were nominated to the Triple Crown, but all galloped off the trail for various reasons. The entire field is composed of talented horses. There is enough speed in here to set up for those coming from off the pace, but if controlled the forwardly placed might have an edge. It is difficult to gauge. Let's try to fashion a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.
#8 Manando (M. Garcia / Baffert) should be the speedy favorite with the highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and three fine peaking workouts. He holds the highest speed number at this distance and it 100% in the money at it in three attempts. Will be the one to beat.
#1 Broadway Empire (V. Espinoza / Diodoro) should challenge with a sneaky pressing attack. He holds the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two stout workouts. This fella has not been off the board in two career starts. He is our Bronze Horseshoe runner.
$2 SHOW.
#5 Den's Legacy (Gomez / Baffert) will take advantage of a fierce pace with the third highest speed number at the distance. He is coming off a longer route which earned him an o.k. speed number coupled with four superb workouts. This guy will be firing fresh after a brief layoff.
#7 Dice Flavor (Smith / Gallagher) is coming off a failed effort in the UAE Derby in Dubai. He holds the third highest speed number over synthetic and has put in four furious workouts. This lad appears ready after a short layoff. Expect him to track the pace and jump into the fray in the stretch.
