Belmont Park Friday Edition

Race 1. Garden Princess broke maiden two back..went against winners and tired after contesting early pace..could be the one to catch. Lady Serena broke maiden impressively last out..competed against good company in three lifetime starts..Brown and Castellano are potent. Streethomealabama will be coming from out of it but should get the pace to run at. Two Taps should sit close to the pace and will hang around for a piece.




Race 2. Good betting race..I like four but could easily add more...Indian Brut has never been off the board in five lifetime efforts.. took a little break since last try over the Gulfstream surface...has a win at the distance. How good is Speighter?..won first time Mott which rarely happens... the son of Speightstown could be something nice. Energetico is a solid campaigner..expect this one to be close to the engine and come running. Lewys Vaporizer ran against winners on Derby day and didn't disappoint self.. second place finisher came back to run a nice race over the Churchill surface..only benefited from that experience and should be ready to fire.





Race 3. Leaving out the morning line faves out of my picks..like others better.. Noble and Beauty tried the stretch out business last out and failed..going back to what she wants to do which is sprinting..will be a price. I'm A Looker is another price in this spot...scratched from Churchill's Thursday card for this spot..went back to sprinting last out and got the job done...will be finishing. Cavorting worries me because I don't know if it was the added ground that did her in or is it something else.. I am putting her here on the ticket because if she is right then its game set match. Enchantress two lifetime wins came at this distance..tried the Oaks avenue in last two and came back to earth..will be strong and Pletcher is hotter than a blue star right now.




Race 4. Looking for Todd Pletcher to get in the winners' circle with this son of Uncle Mo.. Uncle Vinny who won impressively last out and will fight for the favorite spot with the Wesley Ward charge Banree. These two are a little ahead of Cat Tree who could be rolling in the stretch and Paynes Prairie who got off to slow start last out and could be picking them off with a better start today.





Race 5.  Bow Tie Boss has been knocking on the door in three starts but is yet to enter winner's circle..today could be graduation day for the Candy Ride colt. To Dare stretch out in comeback race and ran a decent third.. shortens up for this effort and could be stronger than the rest. Indian Trail is first time Pletcher..gets lasix and debuts sprinting against a field that doesn't scare anyone..the son of Indian Charlie out of a Arch mare could be the good real deal first asking.





Race 6. Fashion Fund regressed in last start but should find better footing today..expect Lezcano to have this one up there and clear for good running when they turn for home. Chocolatier will take money based on last effort and will be tough..she won first time state side and did it easily. Castellano hops back aboard and she will be the one to beat. Regardez is the other Brown and while she disappointed as the fave last out she should improve from that effort and the price will be right. If I am going to like Fashion Fund and Regardez then I must include Fade To Black who finished in front of those two last out..will be on the engine and the one to catch.





Race 7. Wild Dynaformer will be going to turf for the first time..he is a well bred son of Dynaformer and will enjoy everything about this setup..note Saez lands here and not on Lookaroundcorners who was DQ in maiden win..he will once again be the goods. Arghad is a Distorted Humor son hailing from the McLaughlin's barn..the barn is doing well since Keeneland and should have this one ready..I love Distorted Humor first time lasix going a distance of ground. Seeking Alpha and Boone Stations are two I expect to have on my ticket under the top three.





Race 8. Rock Fall could easily rock them again... only one off the board finishes in five starts and that lone off the board was first start..will be tough to beat. Dads Caps is the real deal and this fighter will tussle and give his backers a good effort. I expect them to sit behind Captain Serious whom I have always love..the New York Bred is trying to show he belongs with this caliber of open group..he will be on the engine under his new pilot and will be one to catch. Stallwalkin' Dude has done nothing but win in last four..will once again be tough with this level of competition.




Race 9. Stephanie's Kitten looks to be the class of this field and the mare keeps the top notch jock aboard..she will gather them in the stretch and do good work. Riposte lost her way in last two but blinkers goes on plus Rosario hops back aboard..he has produce the best run out of this mare. Eastern Belle makes third start for Motion and should be ready to fire best effort. Maximova makes second start off the break..first effort was good only beaten over a length..should be ready to fire from that lung filling effort.




Race 10. Innovation Economy fits very well with these..beat Xtra Lucky last out who came back to win a nice event at Churchill Downs..goes back to Ortiz and should be traveling well in the lane. Unitarian makes third of the year for a very hot barn... look for that one to take money but also be in contention when the running starts. Red Rifle returns to turf where he has flourish in the past..I expect that one to improve on that big effort last time out. Artic North has been ambitious throughout his career and he is a fighter..expect a fight once again.
