$600K Man O' War stks at Belmont

a field of 7 entered for the 53rd running of the Man o' War today, over 1&3/8 miles (2200 m) on the inner turf course, on a hot sunny day. Gio Ponti going for the "three-peat". he is up against Mission Approved again, whom he beat in the last stide last year. They could fill the exacta again although my tip is the improving #3 Boisterous (Johnny V up, for Shug McGaughey) "across", 6/1 in the ML. Don't like the the Aiden O'Brien Irish invader Cape Blanco



but of course it won :( Bositerous did well for 3rd considering the class rise

Man o' War, (March 29, 1917 Nursery Stud farm, Lexington, Kentucky – November 1, 1947, Faraway Farm) is considered one of the greatest Thoroughbred racehorses of all time. Ranked as #1 US racehorse of 20th century. Lost only once, to Upset, in 1919 Sanford Stks. also a prominent sire and "solid" chef-de-race

the other big race is the Gr 1 Holywood Gold Cup and i tip 4-7-1 Game on dude, first dude , twirling candy. They finished 7-4-1 first dude, Game on dude, twirling candy in a very tight go. box tri paid 27-1
