Saturday 29 September Picks (Belmont Park included)

Hello everyone,

Paddock Girl here:

 Very nice Opening Day for us. Couple of winnings to make it better came in handy too... just a nice way to start this meet.

Several things are happening today at the track, especially with all the betting promotions like "Let it ride", "Cash Call" next day bet and others. But that's not all, the first 15,000 patrons will receive a nice cap with their paid admission. Also, the famous food festival truck will be taking place at the infield...

And one more thing,  ZENYATTA statue will be unveiling today! The Queen will finally have a  permanent place near the paddock. 

Today there are 11 races, including multiple featured races, all of them are worth $250,000. This means that a combined purse of $1.25 million is today's hook for every horse men out there, since there are 5 Grade 1 races.  They go from race 6 to 10 and as you guessed, there will be part of today's Pick-6 bet, which already has a carryoner of $55,260. The last leg of this eccentric bet, race 11, is also a minor stakes race with a purse of 70,000.

The biggest attention is being caught by GAME ON DUDE (race 10). Now that jockey RAFAEL BEJARANO has the mount, it has become the favorite of the whole day card.
