Hello all! It seems that the major portion of Slew's horses for Wed were scratched. I suppose the unusually warm temps in the NY area had much to do with that.
The heat will continue tomorrow (Thursday) so more scratches are possible. The tracks and races on Slew's list for Thursday are listed for you below.
There was one race at Belmont Park today that strikes me as a bit strange. Race 4, a Maiden Claiming affair for the girls at 6F was run in a quick 1:08.57 on what was no doubt, a dry and glib turf course. The winner, Vindicated Ghost had run previously in an Optional Allowance affair on June 1st as a MAIDEN. That race was won by Ballastic Sue in a quicker 1:07.65. True to her name, Ballastic Sue paid $33.00. That June 1 race now has 2 next out winners, as Strategic Missle came back 6 days later to win a SB AlwOC and paid $80.00. That horse was a single on Slew's list that day and is no stranger to the winners circle.
It seems to me that the seed race (the 6th) on June 1st has yet to see the entire story unfold as it was fairly contentious, and the 8th race on June 7th needs to be watched. The first 5 horses were separated by less then 1 1/2 lengths.
Stay cool wherever you are, and as always...good luck and good 'capping!
