Race 6
#7 Hieroglyphics
plus exacta box with #5
Outrageous Bet
#7 Hieroglyphics returns
from a long layoff and is with a different barn these days, but has had success
in the past off of this type of layoff and has a good record on the turf here
at Belmont with 2 wins and a total of 4 exacta finishes in 5 prior races on
this course. Will be tough if able to match prior glory for the new trainer.
Play in exacta box with #5 Outrageous Bet, who was very
good last time out in the turf victory here at Belmont with a strong speed
figure. Lost at Monmouth and Saratoga, but now has won two in a row at Belmont
and appears to be in his best-ever form.
Race 8
#3 The Important One
Has mostly been
a turf sprinter but actually 2 of the 3 career wins have come in dirt sprints,
and this hhorse’s best career effort happened last time out in an off-the-turf
race where she crushed the field wire-to-wire with a big speed figure for
Asmussen. Should not lose to this bunch with anything close to a repeat of that
last effort.
