Greetings racing enthusiasts, and welcome to another scintillating day of racing at the prestigious Belmont Park! It’s Friday, June 9, 2023, and our sports handicapper extraordinaire, Ron Raymond, has worked his magic once again to bring you his Win, Place, and Show picks for today’s races. He’s also revealing his Exacta and Trifecta picks to keep the excitement at an all-time high.
Before we get into the details, let’s touch on Raymond’s favorite horse racing wagering system, the “Double Dutch” betting system. For those unfamiliar with this approach, it involves wagering on one horse in a race to either win and/or place. This means if your chosen horse finishes second, depending on the odds, you could potentially get your money back. Now that’s what we call a smart bet!
Let’s dive into Ron Raymond’s picks for the day.
Race #1 starts with a bang at Belmont Park, boasting a $90,000 Maiden Special Weight race. The Win pick is (8) Kodiac Wintergreen, ridden by the indomitable J L Ortiz. Following closely in the Place position is (11) Donate Life with V R Carrasco in the saddle. The Show pick is (5) Dozen Diamonds, piloted by D Davis. Ron’s exacta and trifecta boxes include 8/11, 11/5, and 5/7, promising an adrenaline rush.
Race #2 has a tantalizing $105,000 Allowance Optional Claiming race. Ron’s Win pick for this race is (4) Movie Moxy, ridden by J L Ortiz, with the Place going to (1) Hot Fudge, with J Lezcano at the reins. For Show, Ron favors (5) Beneath the Stars, piloted by T McCarthy. His exacta and trifecta boxes feature 4/1, 1/5, and 5/2.
Race #3 continues the thrilling series with another $105,000 Allowance Optional Claiming race. Ron’s Win pick is the dark horse (6) Practical Coach, ridden by P Lopez.
