Race 8
#13 Just Ok is Not Ok
plus exacta box with #7
My Lips Are Sealed
#13 Just Ok is Not Ok is
the best horse in this race and deserves to be even-money odds, but they’ve
drawn post 13 and therefore this horse is still the one to beat, but not as
much of a slam dunk. On the plus side, the odds will be better due to the far
outside draw. Finished second at Saratoga last time at this level in a big
effort despite stumbling to her face at the start. Just needs a better start.
Play in exacta box with #7 My Lips Are Sealed, who also
finished second at this level last time out, and if the bad post spells doom
for the top selection, this horse is the most likely other winner or exacta
partner.
Race 10
#9 Theodora Grace
Drops in class
in against claimers for the first time since the maiden win in impressive
come-from-behind fashion in a turf sprint right here at Belmont. Since then she
lost in two Saratoga turf routes, including two races ago in an extremely tough
field in a key race, and last time when she earned a speed figure in defeat
that would be enough to beat this field. Gets a prime post toward the outside
and should be tough to beat.
