Race 10: 2-5-1-4
Race 11: 4-1-2-3
**Most Likely: Customer List #6 (Race 5)**
**Best Value: Fed Chair #5 (Race 7)**

Most Likely Winner: (Race 5: Customer List (FR) #6, 5/2):

Last year … if you recall … this day of racing was a literal wash, as sheets of rain hit the area. We will hope that it stays away. Looking over this turf race we have some nice 3-yr-old fillies assembled that include a pair from Chad Brown’s outfit. That means that both will be short-priced, and the task is to determine which one is best. Once again, Irad Ortiz and Flavien Prat will renew their turf rivalry that seems to be spanning the country. I like Ortiz’s mount this time around … The red-lettered “KS” seems to have the potential to step-up in class. Coming off-the-bench is never hard for Brown runners, and this well-bred daughter of Wootton Bassett (GB) should be no exception. Irad wins the day … If she is 5/2 or higher, this one is a major bet in my book.

Wagering Recommendation: $100 Win, #6

Off-the-Pace Play of the Day: (Race 7: Fed Chair #5, 20/1):

In a 6F sprint like this one for PA breds, anyone can win this “Non-G.” I particularly like a long shot that is leaping into the deep end of this pool. A gelding by Twirling Candy, this is one of my favorite sires to wager on because they just continue to be so versatile. The Brandon Kulp-trainee really improved his “figs” last time out against ALLW Co. at Penn. Even though he was 2nd in that race, it was a fine accomplishment. I am keen to back him because Dana Whitley is at the controls for this Groff homebred. He is going to be a massive price, but with early speed at his side (if he can break well), he might just flip this script. Tally ho … long shot Friday is on!

Wagering Recommendation: $100 Bankroll, Graduated Wager WPS #5 ($10-W, $15-P, $75-S)

Spotlight Race of the Day: (Race 6: Turf, 1 Mile, Penn Mile S. (G2), $400k, 3):

The tradition of the Penn Mile continues … This year’s edition has a group of 8, but I am sure that Todd Pletcher’s Annapolis #2 and Shug McGaughey’s Fort Washington #8 will garner most of the betting attention. I wouldn’t talk any bettor off of backing either of these colts because both are well-bred (both are halves to War Front, ironically), but I will say that there is value to be had, elsewhere. Before we get to that all-important selection … Bass Racing has solid investments though, and Pletcher brings this one in to Penn with the hopes of making her career a perfect 3/3. Ridden by Irad Ortiz, she will be tracking from 1-2 off the front to be sure. McGaughey is not to be outdone, because his charge is classy (and unlike Pletcher’s entry), she has recency running in the Woodhaven S. $100k at Aqueduct (2nd). Flavien Prat gets the assignment this time around, and Mr. Peter Brant and Allen Stable are hopeful that he is up to the task. I am going to play against both these runners because I like the look of Brian Lynch’s Red Danger #7, who could play spoiler. This colt by Orb has a strong dam side turf pedigree, and will get the services of Ortiz’s old nemesis, Paco Lopez. With good form coming into Penn, he should be able to work out a ground saving trip, and make a big run from the rear of the field. Taking this one back, settling him down, and then timing the move properly will take skill, but I think Lopez is up for it. He can spring an upset when you least expect it. I believe that the odds on this one will drift from 5/2 towards 4/1. We could be looking at a nice overlay. Here is the play I concocted …

Wagering Recommendation: $2 Trifecta Cold, 7/8/2

The synthetic track at Pakenham is scheduled to host an eight-race card on Friday afternoon and Horsebetting’s Victorian form expert presents his best bets, top odds and free quaddie selections. With perfect conditions forecast for racing, there should be no excuses for fancied runners, with the meeting getting underway at 1pm AEST.
Best Bet at Pakenham – Copperfield

There may be no better stable going around at the moment then the Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr yard and when they team with the in-form John Allen aboard Copperfield on Friday, they simply look unstoppable. The four-year-old gelding returned with a smart win at the Ballarat 1400m two runs back and backed it up with a narrow defeat when finishing second behind Alverdun on a Heavy 8 at Bendigo on May 15. He comes to the synthetic for the first time in his career but considering he is a natural front-runner; we anticipate the conditions will suit him down to the ground. From barrier six, look for Allen to have him positioned outside the leader throughout and on the home turn, if Copperfield can kick away from his rivals, he looks a great way to fill up your betting accounts with online Bookmakers.

Next Best at Pakenham – Hinto Blue

The Ben & JD Hayes-trained Hinto Blue was narrowly beaten at Warrnambool on May 3 behind As I Please and Star Spirit and if he replicates that type of performance on Friday, he simply wins this. He managed to win his only start on the Ballarat synthetic over 1200m nearly 12 months ago, so there is little doubt that he will handle what is put in front of him in this BM70. From barrier five, Luke Nolen should be able to position Hinto Blue in the one-one, where the five-year-old gelding can stalk the speed throughout. The Tavistock gelding has a short and sharp turn of foot and if Hinto Blue is anywhere near his best, he clearly looks to be one of the better bets on the card.

Best Value at Pakenham – Hello Broadcast

We will be looking to round out our Friday afternoon on the punt on a high, when the Enver Jusufovic-trained Hello Broadcast steps out in the final race of the day. The six-year-old gelding was clearly not a huge fan of the sit and sprint tempo he copped at Pakenham on May 19 but did well to be only beaten by 1.5 lengths to Meltdown. This will be his first go on a synthetic track but considering his two career wins have come when faced with firmer ground, we are anticipating he will handle the occasion with great aplomb. From barrier seven, with 61.5kg on his back, look for Billy Egan to have the Dragon Pulse gelding close to the speed throughout and as long as we do not get a muddling tempo, Hello Broadcast looks a nice each-way play with online betting sites.

Twilight racing heads to the Sunshine Coast‘s Corbould Park on Friday, as the winter racing season kicks off. HorseBetting’s Queensland racing analyst has analysed the nine-race program and presents you with his best bets and value bet, as well as his suggested quaddie numbers for the program. There has been plenty of rain in South East Queensland over the past few weeks, so the track is rated a Heavy 9, while the rail is out 3m for the entire course. The field for the first race at the Sunshine Coast will assemble behind the barriers for a 3:47pm AEST start.
Best Bet at Sunshine Coast – Lady Austen

Lady Austen was heavily supported on debut off the back of no public trials or jump outs, and while she didn’t land the cash, it was a commendable run. The three-year-old filly by Written Tycoon sat up on the speed on the synthetic track, gave a good kick but was just a bit green in the straight, going down in a photo to local galloper Smashingplates. The Chris Anderson-trained filly now gets onto the turf track and stays at 1000m, which should see her improve enough to be winning in her second career start.

Next Best at Sunshine Coast – Amathuba

We’ve never really been a fan of Amathuba, but the three-year-old filly might have finally put it all together this preparation. The Richard & Will Freedman-trained filly was in the minor money in six of her first seven starts without winning, but she did enough to win well at Eagle Farm on May 4. The win was full of merit for a couple of reasons as she missed the start, over-raced wide throughout and still finished off to win with a bit in hand, so we are confident that she can now take that to Benchmark 65 company and string a couple of wins together. She will get back under Jim Byrne from barrier 11, but it is a big fair track, so she should get her chance.

Best Value at Sunshine Coast – Majestics Request

Chris Munce and Boris Thornton combine in the fourth race of the evening with Majestics Request, a three-year-old gelding who loves racing at the Sunshine Coast. The son of Sebring has won two of his 11 starts, with both of those victories coming at his only two starts at this track, so a return to Caloundra should bode well. After stringing back-to-back wins together across March and April, Munce threw the gelding in the deep end, where he ran credibly in the Listed Daybreak Lover Stakes at Eagle Farm, finishing eight lengths off Flying Crazy and Green Belt. He wasn’t beaten far on the synthetic track on May 22, so back onto the turf should be enough to see him winning. Majoestic Request is paying around the $5 quote with horse betting sites.

Today’s Horse Racing Tips – 3rd June 2022
By: Racing and Sports

Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays at Australian TAB meetings for June 3.

Australian thoroughbred Tab meetings are today held at Pakenham , Sunshine Coast, Dubbo, Wagga and Rockhampton.

PAKENHAM SYNTHETIC: RACE 2 @ 1:30 PM

PRIDE OF GALWAY (4) improved sharply last start when lining up for only the second time, finding the line with purpose to be beaten just half a length over 1200m here on the turf. Can box-seat from gate one and the step up to 1400m is perfect. RUBIROCK (5) continues to race well without really threatening. Boxed on evenly but just lacked a turn of foot when fourth over 1500m at Cranbourne last time out. The addition of winkers might hold the key. Honest and worth another chance. RUPERT'S DELIGHT (6) lines up for the 20th time. Handy all the way when a well-beaten runner-up over this trip at Cranbourne last Friday. Doing plenty of racing but can't break through. Each-way option. TEMPESTARII (12) went to the lead in a new role last start but weakened at the end of 1400m at Pakenham and missed a placing. Fitter now and despite a tricky draw is not out of contention. TALLU (7) returned in good order as a gelding last time. Open to plenty of improvement.
SELECTIONS: Keen on #4 Pride Of Galway.

As a FREE Racing and Sports offer, below is the Pakenham Computer Card.

DUBBO: RACE 7 @ 2:45 PM

MOJO CLASSIC (5) has joined the Scott Singleton yard since his 2L defeat at Hawkesbury a month ago. He trialled well at Scone recently, and he'll find this much easier than what he's been up against. Expecting him to shed the maiden tag. MCLELLAN (4) faces the 1600m journey for the first time, but it appears to suit after being relatively one-paced in his latest outings. He races well here though and he's sure to go close. ELEGANT POETESS (10) has been knocking on the door her past two, going down by under a length on both occasions. The draw is a bit sticky, but if she gets any luck she'll take plenty of beating on her recent form. COOP'S (2) gets out to a favourable trip now and is drawn well for Van Overmeire. Worth keeping safe. CRISTALINO (9) wasn't bad fresh, despite being beaten a long way. Gets Bullock in the saddle and must be respected.
SELECTIONS: Mojo Classic appears the one to beat.

ROCKHAMPTON: RACE 4 @ 12:42 PM

BARNEY'S BLAZE (1) is a Victorian who ventures north with compelling form. Has just been beaten the last four in city and provincial races and has been freshened 49 days. Wiggins' booking suggests he's pleasing. WENEIRI (3) is in a leading barn and has plenty of ability. Will be better for the two runs back in better class. Fradd is reunited and he should be right in the finish. BRAZETTI (4) is also third-up and has switched yards. She has more to give and will ride the speed from the low barrier. Whether she runs out the longer sprint is the query. REAL HUSSEY (2) next best benefiting from the 3kg claim.
SELECTIONS: Backing Barney's Blaze.

SUNSHINE COAST: RACE 7 @ 7:00 PM

BULLOO (8) has placed at Eagle Farm both runs this preparation Had come off a Group 1 over a middle distance and is suited up to the mile. He's capable of using the rail and fitter is likely to have these covered. SEDUCTION QUEEN (9) switched from a Sydney barn and the first up outing. She'd been well-trialled and can improve sharply at the mile. Thompson replaces the apprentice and expect him to push forward. RAGING POLE (3) has had one blip in a string of close-up efforts. Will settle back but can finish on into a placing. FACTORY WARRIOR (1) and RHYME TIME (6) are both going well enough to consider.
SELECTIONS: Backing Bulloo to win.

WAGGA: RACE 4 @ 1:50 PM

AVVERTIMENTO (1) is unlucky to still be a maiden placing in four of five overall outings and this is a very winnable contest. Will be at peak fitness now and should be handy in the run. Sure to be right there when the whips are cracking. CELLAR CHAMP (2) looked good last time out when a handy second at Albury and drawn to get a soft run from gate three. Rates highly. FIL (4) resumes here but showed enough when last in work to warrant consideration in this. One for the multiples. RED REDEMPTION (6) has placed two from four overall and can earn a cheque.
SELECTIONS: Avvertimento to win.

Frank Carulli: Belmont Late Pick 4 | Friday, June 3, 2022

Who can go the distance? That’s the overriding question heading into the Belmont Park Late Pick 4 this Friday, June 3. The 50-cent wager encompasses four races at one mile or longer, two on the main track and two on turf, with 39 horses entered. Here’s a look at the action:

BEL 6th race (3:34 EST) -- CRYPTO CASH is clearly the one to beat – but not a solo play in the Pick 4 -- after he won a $32,000 claimer and ran second for $40,000 in two starts for trainer Linda Rice. He benefited from a track bias last out as five of the main-track winners, including the one he rallied outside of, were in the 4-path or wider in the stretch. DIRECT ORDER is 4-for-9 at Belmont and steps up off the claim after he edged away from Winning Drive, a much-improved runner of late since changing barns. TRAPPEZOID back-pedaled on a sloppy track as the 2-1 second favorite in his Belmont Park debut, but he finished first or second in 10 of 15 starts, has speed and lures Irad Ortiz Jr. to ride.

BEL 7th race (4:08 EST) -- HIGHLY RESPECTED overcame a bumpy beginning, awaited room behind a wall of horses near the 3/8 pole, burst clear to a commanding lead and got caught by the favorite in the last stride in the Grade III Bayshore at 7F. VARATTI shook a duel with the 4-to-5 runner-up and edged clear of Wood Memorial winner Mo Donegal and others in a debut maiden win last fall. He returned 6 months later as the odds-on favorite from post 12 in an allowance sprint at Keeneland, only to break flat-footed, stalk the pace 4-wide and prove no match for the 73-1 winner. Don’t discount TOTALIZER at a big price in his first start beyond 7F. His only win was a maiden $10,000 claimer at Delta Downs but he was running at the wire in most of his starts. He gained steadily when third in a restricted stakes race three back, improved after a slow start in an allowance that produced a winner who posted a 91 Beyer and rallied widest for third last out against hard hitting fave Sparky Hale (3-5, $105k).

BEL 8th race (4:40 EST) -- TRENDING swept to command 3-wide to break his maiden on soft footing in a turf marathon at Keeneland, ahead of a 70-1 runner-up and two next-out winners. His dam was Grade I-placed on the Belmont lawn, so he has license to take the necessary step forward and beat this field from a prime rail striking position. Q F SEVENTY FIVE, overtaken in the final sixteenth by Todd Pletcher-trained Aivano (8/2-2-3, $138k), can make maximum use of his speed, as he did in a pace-controlling maiden win to start his 4-year-old season. GUSSY MAC showed some ability at various distances on the turf last fall, meeting the likes of multiple graded stakes-placed Never Surprised, next-out stakes winner Scuttlebuzz and recent starter allowance three-peater Unprecedented. He is a viable longshot in the Pick 4 sequence.

BEL 9th race (5:12 EST) -- Go at least 4-deep in the final leg. HOWE STREET finished with ‘good energy’ to finish second at 18-1 in his debut and continued strong on the gallop out; however, eight rivals in that race came back to run and none finished first or second. GROWTH CAPITAL, a two-time beaten favorite, finished ahead of a next-out Maiden Special Weight winner last out at Keeneland and adds blinkers from post 12 for the red-hot Chad Brown barn. CAUSIN’ MAYHEM rallied inside of odds-on winner and next-out repeater Riot House in his turf debut at Gulfstream Park. OGELTHORPE, a $350,000 sales buy whose dam was stake-placed on the turf, debuts off a series of steady workouts. Trainer Danny Gargan is 14/3-3-2 with first-time starters since September but he is only 1-for-25 with debut grass runners in the last three years, even though 12 were dismissed at 7-1 odds or less. CLUBBING makes his long-awaited debut as a 4-year-old gelding after a lengthy work tab. Trainer Shug McGaughey unveiled two, first-out turf route winners at Saratoga last year – both at 6-1 – to enhance a 5-year run in which his runners showed a positive return on investment with a similar profile. Clubbing is coupled in the wagering with BREAKWATER, who looms a threat if he draws in off the also-eligible list.

Suggested 50-cent Ticket

BEL 6th Race: 2, 7, 8
BEL 7th Race: 5, 6, 9
BEL 8th Race: 2, 5, 10

Belmont Horses in Focus for Friday, June 3
Posted on June 2, 2022 by David Aragona

RACE 2: LOVE’S MISERY (#3)

#8 Translate is likely to go favored here based on her recent California form, but she’s often an underlay. She’s gone favored in 8 of her last 9 starts and has just 2 wins to show for it. She’s also a horse who has done her best running out West. She failed to translate her strong Santa Anita form from the winter of 2021 to New York when she competed here in the summer of last year. I’m concerned that we could see a similar pattern play out here, and I don’t think her current form is even as strong as it was last season. There are some other class droppers to consider in here, such as #4 Weekend Fun and #5 Inajiffy. I thought the former got carried along a little bit by a relatively slow pace, and she was never really a threat to those tougher horses. You could say the same about Inajiffy last time, but at least she has back races that make her competitive in here. With her, the major concern is that she lacks early speed and there isn’t much pace in this race. For that reason, I want to try to wire the field with #3 Love’s Misery. She was a dominant winner switching back to turf earlier this spring at Aqueduct, albeit against a very weak field. She regressed against tougher last time, but I’m not sure that she was suited by the stretch-out in distance. She also was involved in a deceptively quick pace the fell apart. She’s sprinted effectively on dirt, so I don’t mind this turnback to 6 furlongs on the grass, especially since she looks like the controlling speed.

RACE 7: DOMINICAN PIONEER (#4)

There’s no doubt that #5 Highly Respected is the horse to beat in this spot, but horses from the Chad Brown barn are getting consistently overbet at Belmont, which is understandable given his outstanding record so far at this meet. He’s a likely winner, but I could see him dipping into odds-on territory, and I don’t think that’s fair value on this horse in what is a pretty competitive allowance race. He ran well to just miss in the G3 Bay Shore last time, as it appeared he had made the winning move at the quarter pole before getting nailed by Wit. He has to stretch out an extra furlong here, and a few of his rivals aren’t exactly slouches. #2 Galt, the full-brother to Songbird, is getting significant class relief after running in a few Derby preps. He wasn’t disgraced finishing fourth in the Holy Bull, and last time you can’t fault him for not hanging with Epicenter, who is one of the best 3-year-olds in the land. Some may also consider #9 Varatti, though I wasn’t thrilled with his return at Keeneland. He lacked the early speed that he displayed on debut, having to be hard-ridden into the race while no match for a surprising runaway winner. I’m interested in a different Kentucky shipper. #4 Dominican Pioneeronly earned a 103 TimeformUS Speed Figure in his debut score, which is 11 points lower than the best number the favorite has achived. However, I was really impressed with the way this Wesley Ward trainee dispatched of his competition. He always appeared to be traveling well while contesting the pace and seemed to keep finding more when put to mild pressure through the stretch, hitting his best stride just as they came under the wire. He’s bred to stretch out, being by Pioneerof the Nile and a half-brother to multiple turf stakes winner Chocolate Ride. I expect John Velazquez to send him to the front here, and I won’t be surprised when he proves tough to catch.

RACE 8: Q F SEVENTY FIVE (#10)

I suppose #3 Conquer the World is the horse to beat in this N1X allowance affair. He’s run pretty well in all of his turf starts, running slightly higher speed figures each time. I liked the way he drew away to break his maiden at Aqueduct last fall, and he was finishing well in his return to grass last time after a wide trip. The slightly longer distance of this race should benefit him, and he’s drawn an advantageous inside post position. A few of his main rivals exit a race at this level from May 6 won by High Tide, but I wasn’t particularly thrilled with any of them. I wanted to go in some other directions. My top pick is #10 Q F Seventy Five. I don’t love the outside post position, but he’s supposed to be the controlling speed of this field. He was a visually impressive maiden winner two back at Gulfstream, sprinting away after dominating the race on the front end. He tried to pull off a similar feat at Churchill Downs last time, but that turf course may have worked against him. You didn’t want to be inside on the Churchill turf on Oaks/Derby weekend, and he rode the rail the entire way before fading late. I think he’ll be pretty dangerous with a similar trip this time for a hot barn. The other horse that I’d want to use at a much bigger price is #5 Gussy Mac. I know his overall form looks pretty spotty, but he ran well going a similar distance at Aqueduct last fall in the Gio Ponti when getting up for third behind Grade 1 placed Never Surprised. I wouldn’t put too much stock in either of his races since then, since one of those came on dirt, and another was over a non-traditional racecourse. He also ran deceptively well in some races last year, but was hindered by running at the wrong distances or getting bad trips. He has talent and figures to get somewhat overlooked in this spot.
