Hesitated to post this one. The reason? Because I''m not sure that it has anything to do with handicapping, per se. This is not about a monster move, although there was one in the race (suspect jock). In the course of a wagering day, or week, one develops a sense of trends (real or imagined). In the fourth at Belmont, I was merely determined not to let a noticed trend beat me. And, I won.
Manuel Franco is one of the hottest apprentices on the Eastern seabird. In the last few months. He has cost me thousands of dollars when I ignored him. And a lot less when I decided to include him in my wager. Yesterday's ride on Seven Dreams repays some of that money. With the following $150 double, we'll call it even.
The race itself begged for a a long-shot winner, merely because of an extra half-furlong (6.5). Seven Dreams showed a love for Belmont. An exacta wheel cost me $14. The return? $543..
