Superfecta Sunday on Jersey Turf
Kudos to the New York Racing Association for putting together a fantastic Belmont Stakes day card. It was a tremendously exciting Belmont Stakes race. Congrats to the connections of Tonalist for the win. And to California Chrome for giving his all and creating some horse racing buzz.
On to the Jersey Shore for Superfecta Sunday. We look in on a fabulous Turf contest.
Monmouth Park Race 11 {Monmouth Stakes~G2~1 1/8 mile~TURF~3 year old Up~Stakes}
A quality group of fourteen Turfers will battle in this annual contest. There is sufficient speed to keep the pace rolling. This herd has very tightly grouped speed numbers overall, on the Turf, and at the distance. It could be a wild one like those run across the pond. Our task is to tack together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.
#14 Bad Debt (Serpa / Trombetta) could be the veteran that gets the job done with the second highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and three robust workouts. Look for him to chase the pace and hit the stretch running.
#3 Speaking of Which [IRE] (Bravo / Clement) should be in contention with excellent tracking capability. He holds the fourth highest (tie) last out speed number, a two race progression, and three stout workouts. He is our Bronze Horseshoe runner.
$2 SHOW.
#11 Lochte (Bocachica / Vitali) should present a mighty challenge with a couple of high quality last out speed numbers and two fastidious workouts. This lad holds the highest speed number at the distance and should be tracking the pace closely.
#5 Tricky Hat [CHI] should contend with a couple of very good last out speed numbers. He is coming off a longer route putting in three superb peaking workouts. His tactical speed will be put to good use. This guy will be firing fresh after a thirty day rest period.

Triple Crown on the Line
It is Belmont Stakes Day on this Stakes Saturday. The Triple Crown is on the line as California Chrome will run the final leg.
It's 0540, Arlington Park Time. Horsemen and horsewomen are making their rounds checking in on their charges...And wondering if Chrome will be the next Triple Crown champion?? It has been thirty-six years since it was last captured by Affirmed.
You can't help but cheer for this horse and his connections. Working men and women chasing a dream against the odds. It is a uniquely American story and a genuinely classic California tale.
On the race analysis.
Belmont Park Race 11 {BELMONT STAKES~G1~1 1/2 mile~3 year olds~Stakes}
A top quality field of eleven will go to the gate in the last of the Triple Crown races. There are a handful of horse that will be forwardly placed which should produce a controlled pace. All eyes will be on California Chrome and his trademark spurt. It should be one of the most exciting races in recent memory.
#2 California Chrome (Espinoza / Sherman) is the horse to beat. This glorious son of Lucky Pulpit has already banked over $3.4 million. He holds the highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and one solid workout. He should be forwardly placed for the victory, though there will be not much value as he should be the overwhelming favorite.
$1 WIN.
#11 Tonalist (Rosario / Clement) should challenge as he should also be forwardly placed. This son of Tapit holds the second highest (tie) last out speed number, a four race progression, and two stellar workouts. This lad also holds the highest speed number over the Belmont oval.
$2 PLACE / $3 SHOW.
#9 Wicked Strong (Maragh / Jerkens) should contend having been in the money in two starts at Belmont Park. He placed fourth in the Kentucky Derby in his last race earning him fourth. An o.k. speed figure was derived from that race. This son of Hard Spun has put in three sensational peaking workouts since. He should be coming on, well, er, Wicked Strong in the stretch.
$2 SHOW.
Other Wagering Interests
#5 Ride on Curlin (J. Velazquez / Gowan) should also be coming on strong as he did in his second place finish in the Preakness. This son of Curlin shares the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two endurance producing workouts. He should be running late.
#8 Commissioner (Castellano / Pletcher) should have no trouble with the distance as his daddy, A.P Indy, was the 1992 Belmont Stakes winner. He holds the third highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two quality peaking workouts. He is another that will be running speedily through the stretch.
#4 Commanding Curve (Bridgmohan / Stewart) should be in the mix easily handling the marathon distance. He holds the fourth highest last out speed number, a four race progression, and three superb peaking workouts. This son of Master Command will be making a late run toward the wire.
10 CENT Superfecta ($2.40)
We will deploy what we call a Lambrakis method 10 CENT Superfecta as follows:
#2 California Chrome, #11 Tonalist / #2, #11, #9 Wicked Strong / #2, #11, #9, #5 Ride On Curlin / #2, #11, #9, #5, #8 Commissioner, #4 Commanding Curve.

On this Superfecta Sunday we seek a little fine tuning for this Saturday's big event at "Big Sandy". Today we look in on a nice one mile route at expansive Belmont Park.
Belmont Park Race 7 {1 mile~3 year old Up~Claiming}
A terrific field of ten will go to the gate in this afternoon claiming feature. There is a ton of speed, most of which is in the inside posts. The pace could greatly benefit the trackers and closers. The lines are drawn fairly evenly with respect to speed numbers at the distance. One group will be battling to hit the board. The other group seeking to improve and take a spot on the board. It should be a great race.

#1 Seeker (W. Garcia / Contessa) should be part of the front running pack. He holds the highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and one superb workout. Despite a grueling pace, he should hold on for a piece of the purse.
