Belmont Selections

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 17

SPOT PLAYS

BELMONT

Race 1

#2 Are We Not Men

Immediate claimback by Toscano, this horse exits two straight key races against better horses both times, especially two races ago against $40k claimers when last seen here at Belmont Park. Now down at $16k claiming and very tough at this level based on his better efforts.

Race 6

#8 Holding Aces

Plus play an exacta box w/#4 Avast Matey

#8 Holding Aces was in too tough last time out, but was dominant in the race before that, dueling on a fast pace and then drawing clear to a big win with a fast speed figure. Now back down against n3L claimers and looks good at this level.

Play in exacta box w/ #4 Avast Matey, who dueled for the lead on a blazing pace last time in first race since arriving from Florida. Fits well vs. the local competition and now drops from $50k claiming to $25k claiming with only Holding Aces to beat.
