Friday racing at Belmont and we have a nice 9 race card. We will be looking to take down a pair of pick 3 plays that covers the pick 6 sequence. I will be attacking races 4-6 and Big Pete will be locked into races 7-9. We also will have our "Play of the Day" on a race we would like to try and improve the bankroll on. We appreciate you taking a look at this write-up and GOOD LUCK.

Little Pete's $ 1.00 Spot Pick 3:

R4: 1, 3, 8, 9

R5: 2

R6: 2, 5, 9, 11, 12

Cost: $20.00


Big Pete's $ 1.00 Late Pick 3:

R7: 2, 4

R8: 2, 4, 5

R9: 3, 6, 7

Cost: $ 18.00

Little Pete's "Play of the Day":

Race 3:


(3) Subsidiary picks up Rosario in here and I think that makes a huge difference. This horse has shown the ability to wire a field and I think with Rosario aboard this horse will be able to save enough energy to do just that. I think this horse sits on the lead early and challenges the foes to catch her late. I will take the odds and hope we can navigate a perfect trip under Rosario.


$5.00 WPS 3 Cost: $15.00

Big Pete's "Play of the Day":

Race 2:


We'll ride this Noda run and try to get (7) GO CASH GO to wire this field. Big bullet on 5/28 and then followed it up with a swift breeze. His horse are running right now and I can't pass up on this 6:1 ML. Castro is capable so we'll put this guy on top, with (8) Second Fortune and (9) Jumpster underneath.


$ 7.00 WPS 7 Cost: $ 21.00

$ 7.00 Ex 7 w/ 8, 9 Cost: $ 18.00


Little Pete's Spot Pick 3:

Race 4:


(1) Knockout Punch from the inside is a horse I like off the claim in here. This horse has shown the ability to close strongly late and I think the post position is crucial for this horse to find the lane to run past tiring horses late. (3) Holy Emperor is picking up Irad again in this one and looks very live to me on paper. The drop back in class will benefit this horse greatly and should be a strong contender late. (8) Subsidize is taking on grass for teh second time and should improve with it cutting back in distance. Manny will be able to navigate a ground saving trip and have a fresh horse late to complete. My last play will be (9) Vodka Lemonade who is a good horse that just needs to find the trip and I am going to give my trust in Castellano to do that.


$3.00 WPS 3 Cost: $9.00

$2.00 Ex 1,3 w/ 1,3,8,9 Cost: $12.00

$1.00 Ex 8,9 w/ 1,3,8,9 Cost: $6.00


Race 5:


(2) Primary Colors looks to be the real deal from American Pharoah and I think this will be a breeze for this horse. I am not going to look elsewhere and give my trust in this firster. Luis will put this horse on the lead and I think this horse will prove TOO good throughout.


$20.00 WIN 2 Cost: $20.00


Race 6:


Now that we have the single in the second leg we can get a little creative. (2) Road to Remember is a horse I like to be saving ground late and the inside post should only benefit this horse's trip. (5) U Should B Dancing is a horse I like in here getting back to the grass and finding the lead early. That could be the winning spot in here. (9) Uncle's Gem attracts Irad for this one and coming from the Linda Rice barn. I really like Uncle Mo horses on grass and will give this horse a play. (11) Kreesa La Wroteis a horse that I think will be eating up ground late and a good trustworthy play for me. Last play will be (12) Empress of War will be my last play after the debut. The move to grass is a little different for me, but I trust the connections and hope this horse translates well on grass.


$3.00 WPS 5 Cost: $9.00

$2.00 Ex 2,5 w/ 2,5,9,11,12 Cost: $16.00

Big Pete's Late Pick 3:


Race 7:


(2) FAST BREAK was outside for most of the May 20th race so the inside draw may move this guy up a few lengths. I don't think this Uncle Mo will mind the extra distance as well. Rosario likes to use his mounts speed early if they have it so it wouldn't surprise me to this guy take them all the way in front. (4) O'TROUBLE could be just that. He too was gaining late in that same race but this time he goes out for Potts and attracts Irad. He usually hits the board and Irad usually makes his runners a length or more better.


$ 7.00 WPS 2 Cost: $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex 2, w/ 4 Cost: $3 .00

Race 8:


Brown will draw the attention on (2) AMY C. She ships in, adds L1 and gets Irad. She won her maiden last time but it's hard to gauge the competition. We'll include because of the connections but we'll have to take shot against. (5) LINE DANCING has been the most consistent of this bunch and Johnny V gets involved. Steady works leading up to this are a good sign. L1 is added and faces a softer field than she's used to. (4) THIRD DRAFT just got up to win her maiden race last time and now tries winners. She's been right there with some salty maiden runners and cold be up for the task today. She's bred to excel at this distance.


$ 7.00 WPS 5 Cost: $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex 2, 5 w/ 2, 4, 5 Cost: $ 18.00



Race 9:


I'm sticking with (7) OUR TROUBADOUR as I liked him last time and I can't let him beat me here in a similar race. The slight cut back to 6F will help his closing kick have a little more punch to it. Cancel returning is a good sign so I'm all in. The more logical two are (3) MUCH BETTER and (6) AHEAD OF PLAN. Both drop to this level and both have a race or two that matches up better than these.


$ 7.00 WPS 7 Cost: $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex 3, 7 w/ 3, 6, 7 Cost: $ 12.00
