I will be attacking the early double (Races 1 & 2) and a spot pick 3 (Races 5-7). Big Pete will have a couple of his "Plays of the Day" as well as the late pick 3 (Races 8-10).

Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
With both (2) Overstep and (4) Shipsational taking all the money, I want the Keen Ice colt (3) WHO HOO THATS ME stretching out. Throw in that moisture sits on Big Sandy and this guy looks primed for a big run today. Like dad, he appears to be lacking speed but that will help him as the two favorites will likely hook up ans set him up for the stretch drive.
$ 7.00 WPS 3 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 2, 3, 4 Cost $ 18.00
Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 4:
Of the fillies that have raced already, no one stands out. Therefore, I'll focus on the Revolutionary firster
(5) JULIANA'S ROSE. She seems better suited for the surface switch to dirt and the 5:1 ML may tip that she can run. She doesn't need to be a super star against this bunch and Lezcano takes the call.
$ 7.00 WPS 5 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 1, 5, 13 Cost $ 18.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 8:
We'll spread out in the Distaff. (4) MAKE MISCHIEF may appreciate the 8.5F as she allowed
(9) BYHUBBYHELLOMONEY to come back on her after Mischief went by in mid stretch. I think if both of these 3yr old can run a similar race today, it puts them in the conversation. I like (1) ICE PRINCESS in this spot. She has come on strong lately and switches back to her preferred surface. Saez has back to back runs with her that makes her dangerous today. Any moisture will only help this Palace Malice. I'll include (3) DANCING KIKI as she'll be a price and has proven to run well going long and beating some of these already..
$ 7.00 WPS 1 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 1, 4 w/ 1, 3, 4, 9 Cost $ 18.00
Race 9:
(5) AMERICANREVOLUTION figures to be a tough out in here. A potential single to cut down on the bank roll but I'll include two other professionals. Mr Buff is clearly not the same guy he was but (7) SEA FOAM continues to show up in these races. If he can put some separation between the closers coming into the stretch, some days he's tough to run down. (8) TIERGAN is clearly a new horse since Rudy claimed him earlier this year. He continues to show improvement and Irad subs in. If the Pletcher runner studs his toe, Tiergan will make him pay.
$ 10.00 Ex 5 w/ 7, 8 Cost $ 20.00
Race 10:
ALW NW1X close the New York showcase day at Belmont. (12) WAR TERMINATOR has two races on turf that would destroy this group. If the slop doesn't bother him, he's the horse to beat and a must use. MTO (16) SCOTTO gets to play today but he'll need to improve a little. Rudy has been doing just that so I'm expecting a big run to close this out. (3) CITY MISCHIEF is where I landed. Jose rides again and this guy has some experience on the dirt. The extra furlong will help so if we get this 5:1 ML, I'm all in. (10) BAR FOURTEEN will get overlooked. These Gemologist like the off and he'll be a price. He can at least get 2nd to juice up the exacta.
