heart attack winner paid $5.90 x 15 = $88.50BEL R3
#8 Eminency - $30 Win
$10 ex box 6-8
Ok, maybe I'm overthinking this one a bit. Abreu owns and trains the #1 (probable chalk w/ Irad aboard). He's been working him at Saratoga since early May. Now he ships him down to Belmont on closing day for a $25k maiden claiming race? This is a big drop in class from previous company. The horse has been tossing out bullet works like Mardi Gras beads. Is it me or does he have the look of a horse Abreu wants to have claimed? I don't think he has any intention of shipping him back up north. Something funky here? He'll probably win for fun, but I'm off.

2nd, 4-2 exacta paid $8.50 x 8 = $68.00BEL R4
#2 Media Sensation - $38 Win
$8 ex key box 2/1,4
This #2 makes a lot of sense here. Wasn't going to post it because I thought he would be overbet, but still sitting at 3-1 with 5mtp. Not a good trip at all in his last race but still kept interest. Should move forward here. The Pletcher horse (#4) is dangerous, but I think we'll catch him in the stretch.
