The 2021 Belmont Stakes Plays

Big Sandy is finally here and we finally have a triple crown race with a decent field.  It is nice to see Essential Quality and Rock Your World back after devastating Kentucky Derby performances.  Both of these horses ran into each other right off the start and could never quite recover.  Essential Quality however made up a ton of ground finishing 4th and this horse ran a much longer distance than the juiced up temporary winner in Medina Spirit.   Being that this race is a mile and a half, I have to say that Essential Quality is a very deserving favorite with his past performances finishing 1st in every race except for the Kentucky Derby as well as his breeding.   I think this horse wins this race but it isn’t worth it at 2-1 to do a W/P/S.  My strategy is to key on 4 horses that I think have good distance breeding, great speed figures as well as some good pricing and my mix is pretty much the 2/7/8/6.  The 7 horse Rock your world had an amazing run at the Santa Anita blowing away Medina Spirit while the 6 horse known agenda has good breeding and finishes.  The 8 horse Overtook has the breeding at the big price.   I am playing some combinations that will allow me to profit if Essential Quality doesn’t finish 1st or 2nd but the horses that can bust my tickets are the 1 horse Bourbonic who hasn’t impressed me and the 5 horse France Go De Ina who doesn’t belong.   Here are my tickets and best of luck!
