Fabulous play at Belmont today when Schmooz Talker won paying a nice $12.40 to win, but those that spread the exacta earned a terrific exacta o f$100.50 for $2.00.  And for those that went deeper yet, playing the trifecta earned a fabulous $832.40 for $2.00 wager.  That’s what I am always talking about…Two nice Star winners at BF-Hollywood, with Clearance Clarence ($6.80) and Eaton Hall ($11.60) — the 9th is not run yet, so no official totals…  But STAR horses really rock…

5 STAR horses at Belmont and Hollywood on Friday.  The results, two place finishes from the 5.   As for selections – each of my two selections finished second , Ten Pin Tide paid a decent $4.30 for place and Really Elegant finished 2nd at 2/1.   I like that my plays do some running, but I really prefer them to win, even if the place payoff is okay…

I will have the Preakness section up and running this weekend and I have my first post, a response two a question on Pace.   I think it’s an interesting question that leads us into the wagering on the Preakness.   I hope to have it ready for viewing on Saturday evening…
