Since my losing visit to Belmont on Thursday, the race gods have been lining up in my favor. Monster movers, everywhere..
Friday:
• At Monmouth, Dance for Joy by open lengths at paltry 5-1 setting off a $116 early double.
• At Belmont: Benlayla, and Insightful connected for a $77 first double and set up the win for the $701 pick three.
Saturday:
• At Belmont: Beneath the Crown (off a completed move) paid $17.4 with a repeat win, then coupled with mover 9-1 Japengo for a healthy $176 double. Across the boards on both, naturally. (Fregata at 21-1 just missed by a head to complete an enormous monster-move exacta.) Singled Japengo in the following pick three, which came back $284
In the eighth mover Misslinglisalewis ran a good second to odds on at 15-1.
•At Monmouth: Becky's Exchange with strong rally paid $22.4
My Saratoga bankroll is set.
