Race 9 – Belmont Park – Saturday, May 19 – Affirmed Success Stakes – post time: 5:07 p.m. EDT

First – Saginaw (3): This was a very talented horse earlier in his career, but as of late he’s been coming into his own again winning four races in a row pretty easily. This horse seems to be the speed of the race he should have no problem getting an easy lead and…

Race 9 – Belmont Park – Saturday, May 12 – Peter Pan – post time 5:09 p.m. EDT

First – Le Bernardin (4): This horse is a horse that I believe has a very high ceiling and I hope we see it in this spot. As you can see you will get very generous morning-line odds of 15-1. This is a horse that has shown in the past he has a lot…

Race 7 – Belmont Park – Saturday, May 5 – Grade 3 Beaugay – post time 4:02 p.m. EDT

First – Federation(1): This horse has been running very well since coming across the sea, just missing in her last out in her first try at graded stakes. I think she will be able to sit and get a nice trip right off the pace and make one good run at it.

Second…

Race 9 – Belmont Park – Saturday, April 28 – Grade 3 Westchester – post time: 5:08 p.m. EDT 

First – Marilyn’s Guy (5): This horse has been running very big his past five races, no matter who the trainer has been. He has been working like he is going to have a big run race this Saturday. Looking at this race there is a lot of speed in it, but how much…

Race 9 – Aqueduct – Saturday, April 21 – Grade 2 Jerome for 3-year-olds – post time 5 p.m. EDT

First – Term Loan(7):  This horse from the Violette barn was very impressive winning his last time out after coming up just short the previous three times. Rick is not one to spot his horses where they don’t belong or too high. In his last race he earned a 90 Beyer. It…

Race 9 – Aqueduct – Saturday, April 14 – Grade 2 Distaff Handicap – post time: 5:00 p.m. EDT

Looking at this race there is just too much class in the top four morning-line horses to look anywhere else than one of these.

First – Her Smile (6): This horse hasn’t lived up to her billing after leaving the Pletcher barn and coming to Chad Brown. I think this is an excellent spot…

Race 9 – Aqueduct – Saturday, April 7 – Grade 1 Wood Memorial – post time: 5:15 p.m. EDT

First – Alpha (1): Coming into the homestretch of the Kentucky Derby prep season, I am still very high on Alpha who is a son of the great Bernardini. His last race didn’t go as plan. He never really got a chance to settle on the backstretch working very hard the whole way around…

Race 10 – Gulfstream Park – Saturday, March 31 – Grade II Gulfstream Oaks – post time: 5:03 p.m. EDT

First – And Why Not (7): Michael Matz, who also happens to be the trainer of Union Rags the Florida Derby’s morning line favorite, has another one in the Oaks who has a legit chance to score the upset. This horse, which hasn’t won a race since her debut back at Saratoga has…

Race 9 – Aqueduct – Saturday, March 24– Broadway Stakes – post time: 4:52

First – Big Brownie (7): This horse is coming off a short layoff, which I think will play to her favor. I believe Saltamotes will set a hot pace, which will open the door for my top pick to come and pick up the pieces as she has done in the past.

Second – Saltamotes(3): I think that she…

Race  4 – Aqueduct – Saturday, March 10 – Cicada Stakes – post time: 2:22 p.m. EST

First – Corderosa (5): While Agave Kiss shouldn’t lose this race I would look elsewhere because she will be a very short price. I have landed on Corderosa because she ran a very solid second to an impressive winner Singlet. She only lost by a neck, and she should be able to step forward and make…
