Best Bet Race 8 the 4 Schillerette has won on track at this distance, owner/trainer combo 63% wins last year Belmont Spring meet.

 Race 3 the 6 River Ron drops (40%win) from MSW to MC in 2nd career start, turnback, turf to dirt and back within 7 days. Rutherd B. moves up in class a little strong angle for Kimmel  44% win.


Race 4 the 3 Street Brawl stretching out in 2nd career start (45%win angle for trainer), gets the hot riding jockey Rosie will be very tough to beat. 


Race 9 the 1 Uncle T Seven 2nd start off claim by R Dutrow, just missed this distance in last. The 3 Saginaw turns back from route to sprint looks like lone speed, will be hard to catch. The 5 Law Enforcement can rally for third.

Race 12
9 I'll Have Another 5-2 WIN $8.40
7 Bodemeister 8-5 PLACE
5 Went the Day Well 6-1
6 Creative Cause 6-1 SHOW

*Best bet R11 the 4 Straight Story is the controlling speed, with Ramon riding wire to wire threat.

Preakness I'll Have Another 3 for 3 in dirt routes, sits just off of Bodemeister and pulls away in the stretch. Bode will be gunning early again should be able to hold on for 2nd. Went the Day Well seems to be improving and should rally for 3rd. Creative Cause always fires, though not sure he is fast enough to beat these. He was my Derby pick and I am bailing.

Cheers!
