Re: Lookin' At Belmont 2017 - mapoui - 06-10-2017
I don't know wit this race man..to may inconsistencies..so pik the most consistent on the list...and dat wud be TAPWRIT and EPICHARIS!
Multiplier is also consistent enuff to warrant a bet.
so based on that a super wud be:
2,7,10,/2,7,10,/2,7,10,12,3,6,2,4/3,6,2,1,12,4
Irish WC is in and out but you add him for the win because they are betting him. Gormly too! is in and out..did things that could not be explained.
and there is only one horse in there that any experience of the Belmont track and dat is #9 Meantime
and what to do with Patch (12) and Twisted Tom (1) besides xotics ::confused:: potential upsetters for the win, those 2 are.
I hate races like this; to get a best shot at the money you have to put out a lot unless you are totally on top of the race and have it figured out. you would have to do something like this.
I don't have a handle on the race man..not this time
Re: Lookin' At Belmont 2017 - mapoui - 06-10-2017

Re: Lookin' At Belmont 2017 - mapoui - 06-10-2017
ok! race #10..the race before the Belmont at Belmont. I like the #6 and the 3. I also like the #1
I am betting the #6 at 7 to 1..but I am torn with the #1
Re: Lookin' At Belmont 2017 - mapoui - 06-10-2017
I bet the #1
Re: Lookin' At Belmont 2017 - mapoui - 06-10-2017
#1 runs 4 or 5..
#5..... ridden by J Ortiz wins the race at 27 to 1 paid 57.00 15.60 8.60
#4 second
#9 Third
#1 fourth
#6 ran out of the money, somewhere up the track. #3 also was nowhere..ran fifth in fact
Re: Lookin' At Belmont 2017 - mapoui - 06-10-2017
look ketchim...the Belmont stakes just got a bit easier. the #11 scratched. a mystery horse is removed.

Patch saved me ;D
Re: Lookin' At Belmont 2017 - mapoui - 06-11-2017
hpw Patch save you ::confused::
maaan I have to sleep you know. over the past 4 days I hardly slept and it caught up with me at the wrong time.
I took a shower in the beautiful heat of the day, slipped out to play pottery and get some water came back and settled down to play Mohawk but fell asleep with the screen watching me.
good thing anyway. good thing anyway. I got reckless as usual when I am sleepy, taking crazy shots to beat faves that could not be beaten. but I got a superb second place anyway with McNeil.
anyhow I was on the money with the Belmont anyway..made one typo..but I had the super nailed.
I was right about Multiplier although I played him to cover myself. blasted sprinter running routes. I was also right about Irish WC. at the point where he really needed the pedigree push he did not have it.
Curlin, the sire of Irish War Cry..(IWC) is fine and classy, full of stamina. but on his Dam side the great Danzig line takes off and weakens into Polish Numbers, who is not so fine class influence... and is entirely grass not main track.
then that IWC dam side pedigree worsens into pure sprint with Bold Ruckus/Beau Genius way too prominent. those names are not good when running a mile and a half. they will leave you wanting late as it id did with IWC.. as Tapwrit ran past him.
that is/was the problem with IWC all the time..why he is in and out..one good race one bad race. its a question of class and it is written in his pedigree.
