Eight races on this Thursday from Belmont Park on the Eve of Breeders Cup weekend. I will be condensing my plays down to just the numbers and attacking the early double starting in R2 (Races 1 & 2) and a spot pick 3 (Races 3-5). Big Pete will attack his "Play of the Day" and the late pick 3 (Races 6-8). We appreciate you taking a look at this write-up and GOOD LUCK.

Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
(2) SARA'S SHAMAN switched barns two back and made slight improvement. Pineapple Man came back next out to score against better so his Shaman's last race looks better than the running line suggests. There sill be speed in front of him for him to close into.
I’ll use (3) Kolomio and (4) Chief Liam underneath for the exacta.
$ 7.00 WPS 2 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 2, 3, 4 Cost $ 18.00
We’ll also use (2) Sara's Shaman in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.
(9) Saint Tropez and (11) Empress New Groove in the 4th.
$ 7.00 Daily Double 2 w/ 9, 11 Cost $ 14.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 6:
(3) UNDERWOOD and (9) DRY DRASTIC have both shown speed in their pp's. Of the two, I prefer DRY as she moves back in with NY Breds today. She goes out for the first time for a new barn, and Carmouche will likely gun her right from the first jump. The wise guy for me is (5) SNAPPER TIME. She debuted on the grass against open MSW's and just ran evenly around the track. It has the look of a public workout. Her AM workouts are spread out nicely and fast for this level. They switch jocks and put her where she belongs.
$ 7.00 WPS 5 Cost $ 21.00
$ 5.00 Ex 5, 9 w/ 3, 5, 9 Cost $ 20.00
Race 7:
(3) GRUNDGE ships back into NY after a rough trip in Jersey. Clement holds a pair of aces with (5) PIVOTAL MOMENT also entered. Both like to stalk and come late. Whichever one can work out the best trip probably wins it. I'll try to get by with just these two.
$ 7.00 WPS 3 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 2, 3, 5 Cost $ 18.00
Race 8:
(5) NYSTATEOFMIND is possibly the lone speed. He tried turf last time and just tired late after a few bumps at the start. A clean break may be all he needs. (4) NEPTUNEROAD RICHIE is the wise guy in here. He tries turf and stretches out. He's supposed to handle both. I'll lean on two outside runners in this finale. (10) FARMER JIM was closing in slowly, passing half the field late. Gained some needed experience. I'll try Manny and Rice with (9) JORDAN THE CADDY. He was bumped around a little bit and had slight trouble close to home. Manny will find a seam and get him closer today.
