Belmont Stars and Striped, Sat., July 6

No comments

The Handicap Wizard had wins with its top selections in three out of the five stakes races at Belmont Park Today. In the Dwyer Stakes in the 5th, it had #3 Code Of Honor as its top choice, whose class with a 55.8% Winning Percentage versus 1-1 odds proved too much for the field. The same was true of #9 Promises Fulfilled in the John A. Nerud Stakes in the 8th, who went wire-to-wire in the win at 3-5. The program had its best result in the 10th in the $700K Suburban Stakes, where it had the exacta order correct with its top two selections in #2 Preservationalist at 7-2 and #1 Catholic Boy at 6-5. It nearly had the tri-fecta as well, with its 4th selection in #11 Pavel at 8-1 coming in third.

The most difficult race to handicap was the $1 million Belmont Derby Invitational in the 9th with 14 horses, run at 1 1/4 mi. on the turf. Despite long-shot #6 Henley’s Joy winning at 20-1, the forthcoming Handicap Wizard Turf program nearly had the winner with its 2nd selection #8 Social Paranoia at 16-1, who came in 2nd, while its 3rd selection in #13 Digital Age at 5-1 finished 4th. There was no data on #14 Rockemperor, who placed third, since he was a foreign horse from Ireland. The $2 exacta paid $663, while the $0.50 tri-fecta paid a whopping $2,225.25.
