This guy will definitely cash all 3 of his tickets on the race.

I bet $3.00 W/P/S on #3 Master Fencer.

He did way better than me. My calculations said he put in $960 but cashed $1433.



I was 0 for the whole Belmont card (except I ran out of money for race 12 and 13)

We were fairly close:
From my Key Races blog at Amwager:
Sir Winston to win at 3/1 or more.
Master Fencer to win at 4/1 or more.

Exactas: Sir Winston & Master Fencer over Sir Winston, Master Fencer, Tacitus, War of Will & Everfast.

Sir Winston, Master Fencer, Tacitus, War of Will & Everfast ovder Sir Winston & Master Fencer.

Sir Winston and Master Fencer over ALL.

My biggest mistakes was the trifecta: I had listed the trifecta the same as the exacta with the same five horses in third as in second, then also mentioned optionally to use "ALL" in the third position. When it came time to bet I conveniently forgot to make the latter bet, although the cost of the ticket was only $36. My feelings after seeing Joevia crossing the line third can't be described.

I don’t understand Javier Castellano sometimes. Guy did questionable things all day. He had every chance to get spinoff Down to the rail in behind and he keeps him parked out 3 wide.

Don't think Spinoff was going to win no matter what Castellano did. I bet Spinoff heartily in the Derby and the Belmont off the Louisana Derby form. He'll be a terrific miler.

Hey maybe not. What I’m saying is that Castellano ruined all chances by keeping him out there. Spinoff would’ve had to have been mitole to win from there. I bet spinoff because I envisioned him being able to get to the inside because there wasn’t a ton of speed to his inside. I was right about that part atleast, he had the perfect chance, Castellano had other plans I guess.. Okay rant over time to move on

You're going to be real annoyed at Castellano when you see that, counting ground loss. he earned the 2nd best TG figure in the race.
