busy with the undercard playing some multi race bets, today is an absolutely great card. one of the best cards in a very long time.
Met Mile is going to be a fantastic race, loaded with talent.
some thoughts on the feature...
I am against Pharoah. Would be great to see a TC winner in my lifetime, but I don't think it happens yet.
Frosted and Materiality are the obvious main contenders with Pharoah. Materiality will be on the lead early. Interesting to see what Pharoah does. Dont think they get cute with him but we will see.
Pletcher has a good track record in this race. Will be keeping an eye on how his other runners do this afternoon.
Really really like the #1 Mubtahij...I think he gets a piece.
couple other long shots I think are really live....Frammento and Keen Ice. do not discount these.
remember, the "fastest" horse on paper rarely wins the Belmont. last horse who was "fastest" on paper to win, was Afleet Alex back in 2005....and before that I think it was 7 years prior to then.
Mclaughlin has been really firing so Frosted has a big chance today...they want to see the track dry out though because the area got some rain this morning. shouldnt rain anymore during the day but hopefully the sun continues to dry out the track to give us a good surface.
I will be spreading quite a bit and hoping for some big scores against Pharoah. I am hoping he finishes off the board completely and the exotics really light up the board.
I will be using Frosted and Mat on top of the field for tris.
I will also DEFINITELY have some tris and other exotics with Mub, Frammento, and Keen Ice finishing on top.
If Pharoah and Mat hook up and are tired, one of those 3 could surge at the end.
Will be a great race. Good luck to everyone.
Will watch the pools as well...likely make some across the board wagers on Mub, Frammento, or Keen Ice....really like all 3 of these.
