ON Saturday’s Belmont card I figured they might run the 7th and 10th on the Turf.  There wasn’t any significant rainfall in the afternoon or evening, so considering the end of the meet is coming soon and the NYRA will have plenty of time to get the turf courses back in shape for next May, they should run at least 2 of the 4 turf races on the turf.  We shall see….

Slow day for the STAR horses on Friday, but plenty to choose from for Saturday…

Here is a little something for you to chat up with your buddies (or not).  Consider this, if you wagered on every STAR horse this month, you would have made 79 wagers, at $2.00 per wager your total investment would be at $158.00 and the return on that would be a fabulous $204.70.  No wisdom or knowledge required, just a simple consistent – mindless wagering on the STAR horse.  Considering that September was about the best month the Power Page has ever had for STAR horses, one might say I am really hitting my stride.  But I would say, I have been hitting the stride for 15 years.  I feel comfortable saying these results stand by themselves…

I am working on the Video Package for the Breeders’ Cup, there will be video covering both days.  The big discussion is the running of the 2 year olds without Lasix.    Maybe the right idea is not to run the 2 year olds in this the BC.  It just seems that excelling in the BC for 2 year olds indicates a shorter career – see Uncle Mo and just about every other 2 year old winner of the Juvy for Colts races — as an example.

Tomorrow’s card at Belmont has been handicapped for a WET Main track for All races.  The forecast was 90% for rain on Thursday night and that again 90% for rain all day on Friday.  We shall see, but in any case, I am expecting the Turf races to be moved to the main track and have handicapped accordingly.
