We have 2 real nice cards @ Belmont & Churchill as well as the 500k Ohio Derby @ Thistledown drawing some nice 3 yr old colts and jocks Tyler Baze, Flavian Prat, Paco Lopez & Rafael Bejarano racing for a nice paycheck.
At Gulfstream, jockey Samy Camacho has been chillier that usual until today when he brought in a 8-1 shot & a 16-1 winner. I don't know if he's headed back to Tampa Bay when it reopens on the 30th but I think he has a couple of live mounts on Saturday's card.
Also my gal, trainer Georgina Baxter has 3 going Saturday @ GP.
There's a race I like @ Big Sandy with the Ortiz brothers coupled with a 20-1 shot.
I'll be capping these cards tomorrow & hopefully this forum will perk up with the good racing this weekend.

GP R1 #11 Markistan to the 10k maiden claiming level by trainer Saffie Joseph. She's been knocking on the door with a 5-0-3-2 record this year. Owner Frank Calabrese is all about getting the money and isn't concerned about losing a cheap claimer. If he really like the filly, he'll reclaim her. Trainer David Fawkes has a firster in # 3 Benny's Girlfriend & I want to see her on the track.
GP R2 5 of the 7 entered are 1st time starters. #4's daddy is Commissioner but other than that the breeding of others is not real impressive. I'd look at the 1st tote flash to see where the early money is bet in this short 5F race.
I'll get away with a modest DD play 11 with all.
Race 3 ...you can't claim a horse cheaper @ GP than this 6250 claimer. #6 Northern has won 13 in his career & this is a live one with Camacho riding for owner/trainer Sweezey. ML is 4-1
Race 4 has first time starters & underachievers. It's a crap shoot IMO. No play for me.
Race 5 weather should be nice tomorrow so there's very little threat of races being taken off the grass. #2 Gran Malbec has won 7 of 17 lifetime but his last win was on 2/28/19. #3 The Queens Jules missed by a neck in his last @8-1. #4 Sturgeon has been dull in his last 3 but takes a big drop in class here. # 5 Black Jet is from my gal's barn trainer Georgina Baxter. This guy has been away since December & his works don't show too much. I'll figure this race out tomorrow.

Race 6..there are a couple in here (#1 & #2) that will have their 2nd race after a 6 month layoff. But I'm taking a look at #5 Glitter Girl who is coming in from Tampa. So I'm wondering why trainer Bowersock wouldn't just wait until Tampa reopens Tuesday & race her there. She may be able to steak this one on the lead @15-1 or larger.
Race 7 Luca is on #1 & Rajiv is on #2. These are 2 honest jocks who don't get many mounts & Luca is on the ML favorite. But I think the money ill go on #7 with the Zayas/Pletcher/Repole combination. I'm playing a tri key 1 with 257.
Race 8 Trainer Baxter goes with bug boy Trejos on #9 R Boy Bode . Ex wheel 9/all. DD 9 with 345.
Race 9 Ex/tri box 3-45
Race 10 Wide open. Will decide tomorrow.
Race 11 Throw out the last race @ Oaklawn for #3 Queen Nekia; she's back to a track she likes. The play is ex wheel 3/all; DD 3 with 256 & 11.
Race 12 ex/ri box 2-5-6-11.
Will be updating plays tomorrow based on any changes announced.

BTW...Don't be surprised if you see a few more horses than normal lathered up as they approach the gate @ GP. It's extremely warm here in South Florida.

DD 269 with 16. There's a real good chance Irad wins the first 2 races here on the 2 & 6.
Race 3 Trainer Rudy Rod owns/trains #1 & #2. #8 Bourbon Currency got a great ride from Jose Ortiz in his last @ GP to break his maiden after running 2nd in 4 of his previous races with Irad in the irons in 2 of those 4. Dr. John Kimmel trains this guy & I'm a fan of his. He wins at a decent 17% rate. #9 Albie ran a decent 3rd in his last after for 8 months. I think jockey Jose Lezcano is one of the best on the turf & he stays n board here for a small barn & owner that has only raced 13 in his career. The play is an a tri key of 8 with 129. DD play 8 & 9 with the 364.
Race 4 #3 Timely Tradition is the one to beat. She has won 2 of 3 this year & 9 of 27 in her career. She liked Belmont in 2019 but I think she can be beat. I like the way #6 has been training. She'a a world beater @ Finger Lakes having won 5 of 10 & running 2nd in 4 other races. She's been away since 9/19 for trainer Chris Engelhart & attract Luis Saez to ride. ML is 12-1. WP #6
Race 5 This is a MSW race that I'll have to check out tomorrow. At first glance, I'm looking at 5-7-8-11.
Race 6 is another MSW but this one is on the turf. #6 Ima Pharoah has been the beaten fav in 3 straight @ GP running 2nd in all 3. Johnny V has been on him twice & Saez once. Irad get his chance tomorrow for Pletcher & he's been golden on the grass. Billy Mott, Chad Brown, Jim Jerkens & Shug McGaughey all have colts in here. This will be a good race.

GP R1...changing my double wheel as there is little value. Will make it an ex wheel 11/all.
Owner Calabrese changes trainers often on a whim. This one is trained by Saffie Joseph & if he wants more of his stock, he needs to win here as the chalk.

It looked Like Luis Saez was going to nurse #11 to the finish line but Irad caught him on the favorite #5. Got the exacta but preferred the #11 winning the race.
Exacta 5-11 paid a decent $66.00
