Great racing at Belmont this weekend culminating in a Triple Crown attempt by Justify in the Belmont Stakes on Saturday. To get some interest and discussion going I am running a free contest on Friday with a $48 “Otis Special “ bet on Saturday’s late Pick 4 as the prize. The winner of the contest is the contestant with the highest return on a $2 WPS bet on races 8-11 on Friday. To start the ball rolling here are my selections . Read ‘em and weep !
Race 8 : Joking Race 9 : Fourstar Crook Race 10 : Funny Kid Race 11 : Captain Hardship

Race 8: Whitmore (Always Sunshine)- Finished third in this last year, no Roy H. this go round. Outside post keeps him in the clear, out of trouble, runs them down late.
Race 9: Sistercharlie (Holy Helena)- Won the Wiley G1 with complete authority at a distance probably too short for optimal effort; Captain Obvious prefers.
Race 10: Canessar (Rocketry)- Only beat 6.5L by Talismanic in French G2 last summer; Lynch handles him well, should run as far as they write them.
Race 11: Hampton Point (Prompt)- Toner excels in spots like this. Time off to fix a problem, nice series of slow works, Irad gets aboard; just hoping for 15-1.
I put an alternate if scratched, if that was not your intent please ignore. Thanks very much for the contest!

No worries Tom . Feel free to put in alternates, otherwise any scratches go to the post time favourite.

First post on the new board.....
R8...Bobby Abu Dhabi....stalks and passes imperial hint R9....Holy Helena.....hunch bet, love the name R10....Canessar.....not the best turn of foot, but maybe wins the endurance battle R11...Prompt...bred similarly to turf marathoner Newsdad, might grow up with outside post and softer ground than GP

R8: Imperial Hint (hopefully will revert to prior form and that most recent non-effort in slop at CD was an aberration)
R9: Sistercharlie (loved her performance in the Jenny Wiley)
R10: Funny Kid (trying to guess which of the Euros will prevail in this turf marathon)
R11: Into The Breach (as in "Once more unto the breach, dear friends") (can he overcome seconditis?)
Good luck to all and thank you to Bev.
