Belmont: Wednesday 10/21 Plays R8 - Pete's Picks
Eight races to work through on this Wednesday action from Belmont Park. 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.
Little Pete's $ 10.00 Early Double:
R1: 1
R2: 5, 6 Cost: $ 20.00
R3: 3, 5, 6
R4: 1, 2, 6
R5: 1, 5, 6 Cost: $ 27.00
Big Pete's $ 1.00 Late Pick 3:
R6: 2, 3
R7: 1, 6, 7, 8
R8: 3, 5, 8, 11 Cost: $ 32.00
Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
(4) IMMACULATE MOON 's day got much easier with the favorite coming out. Gargan gives the bug a leg up to lessen the load. They also drop her several levels here which should make the difference. All the runners to her outside will go so they can sit in just behind and make that last move turning for home.
I’ll use (1) Miss Snaffles and (5) Madeline's Agenda underneath for the exacta.
$ 7.00 WPS 4 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 1, 4, 5 Cost $ 18.00
We’ll also use (4) Immaculate Moon in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.
(2) Maria Callas and (6) All Of It in the 4th.
$ 7.00 Daily Double 6 w/ 2, 6 Cost $ 14.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 6:
It's (3) I'M WORTHY's race to lose. Rice shipped him in for a race at the spa but only managed fourth. He then went on the shelf, which makes him a little suspect. If he's right, he jogs. But we can't single as the time off makes you hesitate. I'll include a saver and try to beat him with (2) SUPREME GOOD. He too came here last month off a long layoff and threw in a dud. Now he shows up on L1 medication, so there might have been a breathing issue forcing him to stop in his last two. McPeek sends them out ready, so if the juice works, this guy looks dangerous to me.
$ 7.00 WPS 2 Cost $ 21.00
$ 5.00 Ex 2, 3 w/ 1, 2, 3 Cost $ 20.00
Race 7:
(1) ARINATA most likely needed her last race. She still managed to get close enough to be a threat. She picks up Prat for this, so she appears ready for a big effort. (8) APERTIF was moving along up front, and they didn't catch her. Maybe the course helped her, but that was still a big effort to keep going. Same tactics today. (6) VERNON VALLEY was in front of Arinata last time. The extra distance is a question mark. My wise guy pick is (7) LONG LEGGED QUEEN. She was slow, tried to make up ground, and then tired late at 7F. They cut back and get some speed to close into. Keep an eye on Maria Callas in the 4th. If she jogs today, send it in on this Queen.
$ 7.00 WPS 7 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 1, 7 w/ 1, 6, 7, 8 Cost $ 18.00
Race 8:
(11) TWENTY ONE RED drops and cuts back. This gelding has had many chances, and it feels like now or never with Prat getting on. I'll use him because he'll be the late threat to catch (5) SWEETNESSTHRTYFOUR. He showed speed and just got nailed late. They add L1 and move to the turf, two moves that make him dangerous to wire them. (8) AGGRESSION and (3) ENGRAVED will likely try to reel the front runner in.
