Off to Belmont Park and Hollywood Park

The day after the Preakness we venture out to a race at Belmont Park and one at Hollywood Park.

Belmont Park Race 7 {1 1/16 mile~Turf~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Allowance}
A field of ten plus two also eligible, if drawn in could have an impact on this race.  This is a tightly competitive race.  Sonic Sound (J. Bridgmohan / Baker) has a very slight edge.  Coming off a long layoff she looks ready to fire with three strong workouts and the highest speed at this distance.  West Court (Gomez / Clement) also coming off a relatively long layoff looks ready as well.  She sports a 100% in the money record at the distance with two fiery workouts.  Both of these first two have had success over the Belmont course.  Exclusive Scheme (Castellano / Badgett) looks tough with the second highest last out speed number, a six race progression, and three athletic, peaking workouts.  Royal Fortune (Dominguez / R. Dutrow) looks to run well with a decent last out speed number, a three race progression, and two robust workouts.  Let's play Belmont Park.

$2 SHOW:  #3 Sonic Sound.
$2 SHOW:  #5 West Court.
10 CENT Superfecta:  #3 Sonic Sound / #5 West Court / #8 Exclusive Scheme / #7 Royal Fortune.

Hollywood Park Race 7 {Milady Handicap~G2~1 1/16 mile~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Stakes}
A small field of six goes to the gate in this very competitive stakes race.  Any of these gals could win.  A slight edge goes to Wynning Ride (M. Garcia / Baffert) with the third highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and three sturdy workouts.  Dance to My Tune (Bejarano / Hollendorfer) will challenge with the highest last out speed number and three sinewy workouts.  Miss Silver Brook (Talamo / Canani) will also challenge coming off a ninety day layoff with four exceptional workouts.  Third Dawn (Rosario / Sadler) will also be in the hunt with a decent last out speed number and three hearty workouts.  Let's play Hollywood Park.

$2 SHOW:  #4 Wynning Ride.
$2 SHOW:  #3 Dance to My Tune.
10 CENT Superfecta:  #4 Wynning Ride / #3 Dance to My Tune / #5 Miss Silver Brook / #1 Third Dawn.
