Belmont Selections

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5

SPOT PLAYS

BELMONT

Race 8

#5 Take Cover

Owns some big turf sprint Beyer speed figures and fits well vs. this NY competition coming out of stakes races elsewhere where the sprints are at 5 or 5 1/2F. This horse draws well, outside of the other main contenders, and will benefit from the slight stretch to this 6F turf sprint distance. Has plenty of good pace to run at in this race to set-up his winning late.

Race 9

#1 Set Me Up

Plus play an exacta box w/#4 Mr. Massena

#1 Set Me Up knocking on the door with back-to-back in-the-money finishes at this level and improving in every race. Top connections with Pletcher and Velazquez aboard, and making a key outside to inside post position switch from post 11 last time to post 1 from which to work out a better trip.

Play in exacta box w/ #4 Mr. Massena, who exits the same race as the top selections and was heads apart from that rival in a very good effort after clipping heels and nearly getting wiped out in the early stages of the race. Just needs a clean trip.

Plus play Daily Double in Race 8, #5 Take Cover w/ #1 Set Me Up and #4 Mr. Massena.
