Happy Belmont day to all!
As promised my thoughts on the race
I had Renegade and Emerging Market as my top 2 picks for the Derby.
As everyone knows Renegade had an awful trip, especially the start.
He will be much closer today,better trip so he is my top pick
I know not a sexy choice picking the favorite.. but if you liked him as the top selection in the Derby ya gotta like him here.
For 2nd in the Derby I had Emerging Market. He had a great trip and flattened out.
I expect some improvement but I like Chief Wallabee for 2nd
Another horse with a really bad trip
So..4-3 exacta for sure straight and boxed
Underneath use all of them except 1 and 5
If you like Emerging Market ya gotta like #2 Powershift..he's a dark horse
He only lost to EM by 3/4 length in their first start and he gets Saez
#6 is an up and comer. Not letting him beat me out of the exotics
#7 Commandment was a popular Derby choice. He had no excuses that day,but he is the Florida Derby winner.
And of course ya gotta use Golden Tempo. I expect about 4th place for him
So 3,4/3,4/2,6,7,8,9/2,6,7,8,9
Sorry for the long post
