5-2 now...although will have to admit today's pick/reasoning w/climate...might not have been the best of reasons...still something one must consider infrequently as it may be...

7/9/15: Belmont R8
 Havana getting all the early tote action getting bet down to 2/1 with the  Classy Class the ML favorite right there at 3/1. In an OC $62.5n2x, I see both looking ahead to bigger and better while trying to land a win in this one and advance.
The 7F distance is what really gets me interested here. While both ran this distance in their last out, both finished well back in 11th and 4th respectively at this track. I'm sure one or both will rebound with a much more solid effort against less competition, but a win certainly isn't guaranteed.
The  Doc Almon is running as well as he ever has coming in off of 2 victories at Monmouth and Parx. They have tried him at Belmont before 3 times with a lone 2nd, so he can run decently enough here while getting Jacobson in the barn and Cornelio on the mount.
However, I'll be leaning elsewhere with the  Warrior's Crown. His last on Belmont Stakes day wasn't that bad against a pretty solid field. He came out of it with some solid works,a nd another move forward today could see him in the winner's circle at a nice 5-6/1 price.

Swing and a miss. Classy Class with a solid, professional, and easy win as he coasts home to a 1+ length victory over a late running Doc Almon. was an also ran along with the Havana in which CC ran them off their feet and could have won by 5 or more if need be.

Keenland BC sat...notice didn't attempt to beat the "Map" on Fri...BUT...here goes...nor will I try to beat songbird...sat.
10th..Golden Horn..best horse..yes..but no Lasix lowers chances here..plus travel should catch up at some point..plus just might be a bit of race riding going on here..
11th..AP...not the fastest horse in the race...will get the best trip...which worries me...and they might seal and roll the track...which worries me...still think he gets beat tho...

Final official record for late 2015 posted...9-4...or 70%...2/1 or less didn't win...had a few more for a redboard...not posted...such as private zones last...ect...not counted since not posted...
again the premise... to find horses to bet against...and then of course...find the right ones to bet on...I'll leave that part up to you 
2016...got 2 today...
Tepin in Tampa...7/5 ML...think this is just a work-out...gut call...why else would Lexie Lou be in the same race...bigger plans for both in the future...
Calculator in S.A....again bigger plans going longer...trainer has publically stated NOT fully cranked for this...off surgery for cracked ankle...have to let a 4/5 or lower beat me here...

I didn't look over the Calculator race that carefully, but despite the time off due to injury, he may still be below even money and that is a very bad bet, in my opinion.

Love your call on Tepin. She has been an ATM machine for me dating back to her runner-up in the G2 San Clemente. She rolls in off of back-to-back career races, so there is little doubt she won't be fully cranked and they are likely just looking to get her feet under her in 2016.  Lexie Lou is interesting, but the  Lovely Loyree has me interested.
Calculator is a must bet against. Going with the newbie Fusaichi Samurai. This might be a pretty damn good horse.
