Belmont Selections
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16
SPOT PLAYS
BELMONT
Race 8
#1 Harlan Punch
Plus play an exacta box w/#2 Meantime
#7 Harlan Punch wheels right back a week after an explosive win with a big speed figure in the first outing for trainer David Jacobson off the claim, and Jacobson is a trainer who is known for winning when wheeling sharp horses right back after wins. Should be tough, at least in exacta boxes, with a repeat of that last race.
Play in exacta box w/ #2 Meantime, who just missed last time off a brief layoff at Saratoga but should be ready today after having run second in the Peter Pan earlier this spring before striking out in the Belmont Stakes. Except for the Belmont fiasco, this horse has never run a bad race.
Race 10
#7 Twenty Four Seven
One-for-one so far at Belmont and gets back here after a loss in a longer race at Saratoga that he badly needed in return from an extended layoff. Goes second off the layoff for high-percentage trainer Danny Gargan, and Gargan uses Rajiv Maragh here today who wins 25% for Gargan for a huge positive ROI, yet won’t drag down the odds on the tote board.
