Horse Racing Weekend begins at Belmont

Thursday already?!  We go to the Turf at bountiful Belmont.

Belmont Park Race 9 {Basket Weave Stakes~1 1/16 mile~inner TURF~3 year old~Stakes}
A great field of nine will go to the green in this feature stakes event.  There is plenty of speed and forwardly placed types to keep the pace sizzling. This race could be anybody's race.  It appears there will be a pack of runners biding their time until turn into the stretch making for a very exciting finish.

#4 North Slope (Saez / McLaughlin) has a slight edge with the highest (tie) last out speed number at a longer route, a two race progression, and three hearty workouts.  This guy also holds the highest speed number at the distance.  He could press or track the pace and swoop into the stretch for the victory.
$1 WIN / $1 SHOW.

#3 Calm Pacific (Castellano / C. Brown) will challenge with the third highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and three modest workouts.  He should also take advantage of any heated pace.  This guy is also undefeated in two starts.
$1 SHOW.

#6 Joha (Maragh / Albertrani) should also contend with the second highest (tie) last out speed number at a longer route, a two race progression, and two strong workouts.  He could be part of the front running speed pack.

Another Wagering Interest

#8 Dysprosium (Lezcano / Mott) will be in the hunt sharing the highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and three superb peaking workouts.  This guy could lead the charge and if left loose could find himself in the winners circle.

Superfecta Sunday Up North

Superfecta Sunday arrives as we begin to go deep into the Fall weather.  Today we take a look at a wonderful Turf contest featuring Canadian youngsters.

Woodbine Race 6 {Cup & Saucer Stakes~1 1/16 mile~TURF~2 year olds~CAN~Stakes}
A fabulous group of fourteen youngsters will go to the grass for this highly competitive stakes race.  The vast majority in here are still maidens, yet as Canadian stakes newbies they have the talent to triumph.  Our task on this Superfecta Sunday is to sort it all out and hopefully produce a winning 20 CENT Superfecta box ticket.

#7 Matador (Contreras / Casse) has a slight edge coming out of a graded stakes contest sharing the highest last out speed number, working a two race progression, and putting in three superb workouts.  This guy could track the pace closely.  He will be our Bronze Horseshoe runner.
$3 SHOW.

#5 Go Bro (Pizaaro / Keough) is coming out of the same graded stakes race also with the highest last out speed number, serving up a two race progression, and putting together three excellent peaking workouts. His tracking / closing running style could produce a victory.

#12 Lulu Le'Mon (Acosta / A. Dutrow) is the only Canadian bred coming up from racing in the US.  He holds the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two hearty workouts.  He is another that will utilize his closing speed to great effect.

#2 Cool Faith (Moreno / Attard) is a young filly joining the boys in this Turf battle.  She holds the third highest last out speed number in her first start and as put in a flashy workout.  This gal is one of only four that has traveled over the Woodbine Turf.  She should take up a pressing position seeking to out finish the leading lads.
