Belmont Selections September 26th, 2021

A Great Day - 9 winners out of 10 races including the Early Pick 5 for 40 dollars returning 411 dollars.  The 11th race was switched off the turf, and I did not adjust picks. Also, predicted 5 wins for Irad on the day and he won 4 -- JJ Castellano had a day.  The jockey colony returns from PARX to Belmont today.

Winner's Circle at PARX was place to be yesterday!

The Skinny Ticket Early Pick 5

1,3 W2,13 W 1,4,6,7 W 1,2,3 W4,6,8,9, 12= $ 120.00

Race 1:

1 Shalimar Gardens looks much the best in this race DePaz with Jose Ortiz.

Race 2:

7 Noble Journey is a major player in here while 2 Viking Zim exits key race but 3 Shutters deserves another look.  Chad had a slow start at the Spa and seems to be having slow start at Belmont meet, but expect better for 3 Shutters this time.  8 Ghostmom for Rudy Rod and Saez -- had a big score on the turf together on Friday -- Saez always tries hard to win.  Repeat angle 2 Viking Zim and 4 Arrowheart finished 2-3 last out -- play in repeat angle for exacta.

13 Sandro The Great if draws in off also eligible list.

Race 3:

4 Uncle Mo's Cat returns in 7 days and drops from MSW to Maiden;  6 Partner's Hope  and 1 Rogers Ginger reunite after running 2-3 last out.  6 Partner's Hope has the edge missing the win by a nose -- JJ sticks. 7 Voter Protection for chad Brown may offer value in this race.

Race 4

2 Surprise Boss for up and coming trainer Juan Vasquez -- 219.00 winner yesterday at PARX in a stakes race!

Juan Vasquez winner at 104-1

2 Surprise Boss has two losses to Maker's stakes winner Run Curtis Run.  1 Shipsational has Saez and encountered trouble last out and 3 Senbei has speed and has never trailed at any call in two race career.

Race 5

7 furlongs on the turf is an odd distance since many turf sprints are shorter, it requires a blend of speed and stamina.  Horse who have won at  furlongs on turf with wins over Belmont turf make the list.  8 Kinky Sox fits the criteria as does the 9 Silky Blue, along with 12 Kreesie also is a player in here; add in the two last out winners that appear to be in their best form 4 Itsakeyper and 6 Jill's Hot Mess winner of two in a row both will need to get another furlong and a half to win.

Race 6

Also eligible 13 Let Her Inspire U and 16 Twist Just Right will be contenders if either draw into the race,  1 Silver First and 2 Pimenova will break to the lead and try like heck to hold on -- advantage goes to 2 Pimenova with Saez in saddle but Silver First brings Ferrin Peterson to ride.

Race 7

2 Prefect is horse to beat while  3 Countdown will make a better showing today.  5 Made My Day (IRE) should be better this time out -- maybe JR in the saddle is e=what is needed,

Race 8

7 My lips Are Sealed for trainer Weaver; 8 Marvelous Maude is getting better for Chad; 11 Unicorn Sally at a price with Saez returning for last out winner.

Race 9

Gallant Bloom offers 1 Bella Sofia takes on elders for first time -- has dome nothing wrong byt 4 Lake Avenue for Mott is rounding into fine form and has experience edge.

Race 10:

7 Athena Dancer and 9 Theodora Grace offer best chance to win, but 6 Lucky Latkes goes out for DePaz and his horses have been live.
