BELMONT BETH FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 16

Great day Thursday, let's get it again

Race 5 Maiden Special Weight 8.5F Turf $77K 3:03 PM EST

Most of these horses just raced at Saratoga. The 2, 8 and 10 just raced together on 8/19/22 finishing 2nd, 3rd, and 5th, respectively. The #2 Barry the Builder 9-2 is a closer and came from 10th to 3rd in that race and Prat is on the mount again.I think we all know that Prat likes to hold back and close. Now, Rudy Rodriguez is the trainer, but I think his winning record is better at Aqueduct than at Saratoga.. Adding to that, Michael Dubb is the owner. The #8 Provision 5-2 has Saez on the mount again. Provision finished 2nd last month at Saratoga in two 8.5F turf MSW races with the same jockey/trainer/owner trio. The #10 Thethrillofvictory 5-1 has Irad on the mount again. I’m sticking with these three on top because we all know that I like horses that have raced together previously and were close to each other at the finish line. Behind that I’m adding my FAV’s…..The #4 War Prince 12-1 with Dylan Davis and the #9 Exalted One 20-1 with Jacky Davis. There is bound to be some sibling rivalry there. LOL.
