Belmont Stakes Pick 5

 Missed the Pick 5 by half a nose yesterday. Here is what I will play today. Obviously, have to get past the single in the turf sprint.

Race 8: 1,3,7,9/8/2,5,6/1,5,7,9/3,9 = $48 for $0.50

Good luck!

Belmont Stakes

No surprises here. Sticking to 9 Sierra Leone as the best horse, new jockey, and new equipment to keep him from lugging in. The only negative is that he is a closer, and the Spa is looking kindly to speed from my vantage point. The real threat is 3 Mystik Dan who will break and stay close to the lead and likely take first shot at the top of the stretch. Can't dismiss 1 Seize the Gray who will be winging on the front end but likely with company now. Have to give another chance to 8 Honor Marie who lost all chance in the Derby and will come from far back.

Here is the safe bet:

$2 Exacta box: 1-3-8-9 = $24

My bet:

$20 Exacta box: 3-9 = $40; $10 exacta: 3-9/1-8 = $40

Good luck!
