Belmont: Saturday 11/7 Plays R10 - Pete's Picks
Updated: 3 days ago
Saturday action from Belmont Park with just the Carle Place Stakes staying om the grass. All other turf to the Tapeta. I will be condensing my plays down to just the number and attacking the early double (Races 1 & 2) and a spot pick 3 (Races 5-7). Big Pete will attack his "Play of the Day" and the late pick 3 (Races 8-10). We appreciate you taking a look at this write-up and GOOD LUCK.
Little Pete's $ 5.00 Early Double:
R1: 5, 6
R2: 3, 4 Cost: $ 20.00
Little Pete's $ 1.00 Spot Pick 3:
R5: 3, 4, 6
R6: 4, 6
R7: 1, 4, 8 Cost: $ 18.00
Big Pete's $ 1.00 Late Pick 3:
R8: 6, 9
R9: 3, 6, 7, 9
R10: 5, 6, 9 Cost: $ 24.00
Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
(6) SHARP SPARK is the one of two from the Kantanmaci barn that I want. His stablemate will provide some pressure up front to give him a closing kick late in the game. This 1M is what he wants and any moisture will not affect this Classic Empire.
I’ll use (1) Sturdy and (7) Apalta look good underneath for the exacta.
$ 7.00 WPS 6 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 1, 6, 7 Cost $ 18.00
We’ll also use (6) Sharp Spark in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.
(3) Never Scared or (7) Daredevil Kaz in the 4th.
$ 7.00 Daily Double 6 w/ 3, 7 Cost $ 14.00
Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 5:
(6) ENGLISH LAW has a couple of races that fit with this group. Most of them are on the grass but these are turfers moving to the Synthetic. He's also ran well on the fake stuff. Carmouche takes over and they should get position right behind the speeds. He's a generous price and this race seems to be up for grabs.
I’ll use (3) In The Dark and (4) Sardis underneath for the exacta.
$ 7.00 WPS 6 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 3, 4, 6 Cost $ 18.00
We’ll also use (6) English Law in R5 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.
(5) Senza Parole in the 6th.
$ 10.00 Daily Double 6 w/ 5 Cost $ 10.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 8:
(6) TED NOFFEY has been on the shelf for a year and finally gets back to the track. If he's 80%, that should be enough. His work tab suggests he's ready so a must use or single for most. I'll include the other stand out in here, (9) SEA STRIKE. He made a big splash in the Curlin but got wet in the Travers. He can bounce back so I will use as well.
$ 10.00 Exacta 6 w/ 1, 9 Cost $ 20.00
$ 3.00 Ex 1, 9 w/ 1, 6, 9 Cost $ 12.00
Race 9:
(3) TAP TO OPEN moves to NY for Cox with some potential. Has speed up close and finish well. (7) BODACIOUS BAY is the one to beat. He'll be a factor all the way around and they have to pass him late. I'll try to do just that with (9) TAHLEQUAH AND (6) ATI GIRL. I prefer Ati Girl a little more because she has more speed and can grind it out late.
$ 7.00 WPS 6 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 6, 9 w/ 3, 6, 7, 9 Cost $ 18.00
Race 10:
Both (5) ENGRAVED and (6) SNICKERY look tough. Either one can win it as their speed figure are better than these. Both are a must use but I want to take a shot with (9) DRAYDEN. He ran a good debut race when sprinting and then they tried some distance. That didn't work but it will help set him up for a big effort turning back. He'll let the two favorite go at it and come and get them close to home.
