Normally I do not go for tips, but last night after a concert with my wife we met Davy Jones of The Monkees and I asked him if he knew the winner of the Belmont Stakes and he said "Actually, I know that one it's Master of Hounds". As we were walking away from Davy he shouted out, "at least a show bet". I did like Animal Kingdom but he has no betting value. For my best bet of the day I like 5 Strike the Bell 12-1 in Race 9 2nd race off the layoff, Dominguez riding and has 2 wins at today's distance.

I did not handicap for an off track so hoping rain will hold off and the tracks will be Fast and Firm. Good Luck lets win big and hope its a safe day for all.
