I'm always amazed when fans pick up on a transient trend and ignore an established one. Such was the case in Belmont's eight race, today. Having finished my scheduled wagering for the day, I glanced at the 1 1/4 turf event just as a lark.
It was instantly apparent that there was a lack of natural front runners but for Starformer listed at 20-1. The real kicker was that 'star' is trained by Bill Mott, and was being ridden by Edgar Prado. The odds board showed the fans were afflicted with 'The Rosario Effect' making his mount the favorite.
Beyond being one of my favorite trainers, and a 'mover' at that. At any given time of year, Bill Mott is at least one of the top three trainers in the country. Add turf to the mix and he stands alone. What's a punter to do? No other handicapping necessary. $10 across the board and a wheel in the daily double. Longest price on the board completed the double (Rosario, up). It's an easy game.
