SPOT PLAYS

BELMONT

Race 3

#5 What a Catch

Plus play an exacta box w/#3 Inalienable Rights

#5 What a Catch won the first two career starts, including a NY bred stakes race on the second lifetime outing, and then finished third in another stakes last time with a tough trip when he dueled twice for the lead and faded late. Much better pace scenario today and leads a chalky but low-risk exacta box along with Inalienable Rights.

Play in exacta box w/ #3 Inalienable Rights, who finished second in the same $200k stakes race that What a Catch exits, finishing ahead of that horse but with a better trip from off the pace. Earned the top speed figure of this bunch and gets an extra half-furlong to work with today at 7F.

Race 5

#5 Feed Me Carats

Has run three solid recent races on three different surfaces – synthetic, turf, dirt – and remains in sharp form at present with Jose Ortiz picking up the mount today. The best speed figure of the recent races was the turf outing which was at this level but against tougher horses, when she tried to close from too far back on the speed-favoring Saratoga inner turf course. Gets a fair run today and beats these at 6-1 on the morning line.
