#7 Thebigfundamental (5-2)
#3 Nigel’s Destiny (4-1)
#8 Exulting (15-1)
R2 – Easy Goer 150k
#7 West Coast (5-2) – Looks to get a perfect stalking trip behind the pace.
#6 Tale of Silence (15-1) – Nice local win and benefits from the amount of speed lined up.
#9 Outplay (3-1) – Wants the front and will have to shake off some company.
#1 Sonic Mule (10-1) – Battle tested and will be forwardly placed.
R3 – G2 Brooklyn Invitational
#7 War Story (6-1) – Like the fact he gets back to a dry track and he should be able to handle the distance.
#5 Tu Brutus (Chi) (2-1) – He’ll be the target throughout and they better stay in tough with him.
#1 Governor Malibu (8-1) – It feels like he’s better going a route and J Ortiz fits him well.
#4 Send It In (7-5) – Logical runner, but tough to swallow anything close to even money.
R4 – G1 Acorn
#8 Salty (4-1) – This distance should hit her right between the eyes and gets a favorable draw.
#2 Florida Fabulous (15-1) – Expecting her to be in the 1st flight and tough as nails late under Paco.
#7 Sweet Loretta (5-2) – Seems like a one turn specialist, but gaps in races are a slight concern.
#5 Benner Island (6-1) – Loved her gutsy win in G2 8Belles, but this is a deeper group.
R5 – G1 Ogden Phipps
#5 Songbird (1-2) – She fires BIG every time and works indicate she’s ready off the bench.
#6 Bar of Gold (12-1) – Expecting her to produce a strong effort 3rd race of the current cycle.
#7 Carina Mia (6-1) – Decent return and she should be tighter for this.
#1 Highway Star (10-1) – Definitely not camera shy, but this is a Grade 1. Nice value underneath.
PK5 – 3 5 7 / 1 6 7 9 / 5 7 / 1 2 3 5 7 8 / 5 = $72 for $.50
PK4 – 1 3 5 6 7 8 9 / 5 7 / 1 2 3 5 7 8 / 5 = $42 for $.50
R6 – G3 Jaipur Invitational (Turf 6F)
#10 Stormy Liberal (5-1) – Miller ships with some serious intentions and this gelding is on a roll.
#3 Pure Sensation (3-1) – Expecting him to be much tighter for 2nd race of the year.
#9 Conquest Enforcer (15-1) – Usually takes a ton of money and this distance and surface might be his best .
#4 Green Mask (7-2) – Solid win in most recent and always brings his best.
R7 – G2 Woody Stephens
#11 Petrov (8-1) – This seems to be a perfect fit with the lethal cut back angle at 7 panels.
#2 Classic Rock (10-1) – Been working a hole in the wind and you’ll get a nice price.
#8 American Anthem (5-2) – Fired a big one in most recent at today’s distance and could prove to much for this bunch.
#7 Wild Shot (4-1) – Super impressive on Derby Day, but this group is much better.
R8 – G1 Just A Game (Turf 8F)
#7 Antonoe (8-1) – Loved her U.S. debut after trouble early and there’s enough pace for her to display her electric late kick.
#2 Roca Rojo (Ire) (9-5 ) – Versatile mare affords Geroux to have multiple options.
#1 Dickinson (5-2) – All I have to say is that she beat Lady Eli in most recent effort.
#5 Celestine (3-1) – She’s come out firing in both starts this year, but she’ll have to earn it versus this field.
R9 – G1 Metropolitan Handicap
#7 Economic Model (15-1) – The price will be too juicy to ignore and he runs the long sweeping turns to perfection.
#9 Mor Spirit (5-2) – Dangerous west coast speed and will be a handful to reel in late.
#11 Tommy Macho (10-1) – Proven at this track and distance which is a major plus.
#2 Rally Cry (5-1) – Should secure a nice stalking trip and we’ll find out if he’s good enough.
R10 – G1 Manhattan (Turf 10F)
#6 Potemkin (Ger) (8-1) – I got a feeling that Wohler’s didn’t bring him over to keep Red Cardinal company. Group 1 winner should be ready to rock n’ roll.
#1 Beach Patrol (4-1) – We know how dangerous lone speed is on this turf course and they’ll have to run him down.
#3 World Approval (3-1) – Made it look easy versus a easier group at Pimlico in most recent, but must be respected.
#7 Divisidero (4-1) – 9 panels seems like the optimum distance but brings some serious class into this race.
R11 – G1 Belmont Stakes
#2 Tapwrit (6-1) – Same recipe as Destin from a year ago and he fits with plenty of angles to get the job done.
#8 Senior Investment (12-1) – Has put it together lately and he’ll relish the 12 furlongs.
#3 Gormley (8-1) – Should appreciate a dry track and has the pedigree to be succesful in this classic race.
#7 Irish War Cry (7-2) – Has the the good race bad race pattern going for him and it might just be that simple.
#6 Lookin At Lee (5-1) – Too short of a price to consider on top, but proven he can close in these types of races.
