It’s Saturday at Belmont at the Big A, and we’ve got a deep card with a mix of Maiden Specials, Allowance races, and a Stakes feature in Race 10. Using the Double Dutch System (1 horse – Win & Place), here’s how the Raymond Report lines them up:
Race 1 – $80,000 MSW (7 Furlongs Dirt – 1:10 PM)
- Double Dutch Play: (5) Thirsted – 10/1
Early value shot. At 10/1 with R. Silvera aboard, Thirsted is the kind of overlooked DD play that can put you ahead before lunch.
Race 2 – $65,000 Starter Allowance (6 Furlongs Dirt – 1:39 PM)
- Double Dutch Play: (6) Tizmarkus – 5/2
Strong morning-line favorite with Santana Jr. up. Reliable grinder in a small field—ideal DD anchor.
Race 3 – $43,000 Claiming (1 Mile Dirt – 2:08 PM)
- Double Dutch Play: (5) Leading Contender – 3/1
A horse living up to his name. Expect him in the mix late. DD system says: trust the steady stalker.
Race 4 – $85,000 MSW (6 Furlongs Turf – 2:37 PM)
- Double Dutch Play: (3) B Raging On – 10/1
Turf debut can be tricky, but value dictates the play. If he even hits the board, the DD system cashes nicely.
Race 5 – $31,000 Claiming (1 Mile Dirt – 3:09 PM)
- Double Dutch Play: (5) Brave Bear – 8/1
At 8/1, this bear could maul the board. Strong DD value runner in a wide-open field.
Race 6 – $85,000 MSW (6½ Furlongs Dirt – 3:41 PM)
- Double Dutch Play: (5) Dream Machine – 8/1
Appropriate name for a Double Dutch horse—if he wakes up today, you’re cashing tickets.
Race 7 – $85,000 MSW (1 1/16 Miles Turf – 4:14 PM)
- Double Dutch Play: (11) Golden Rule – 20/1
Bomb alert 🚨. Huge price in a crowded turf field. The system thrives on these when they hit the board.
Race 8 – $82,000 AOC (1 1/16 Miles Turf – 4:47 PM)
- Double Dutch Play: (9) Saratoga Flash – 9/2
Solid turf closer. Not a bomb, not chalk—just right for steady DD returns.
Race 9 – $88,000 Allowance (1 1/8 Miles Dirt – 5:19 PM)
- Double Dutch Play: (5) Valentinian – 4/1
Stretches out nicely on dirt. DD play built for consistency, not flash.
Race 10 – $150,000 Stakes (6 Furlongs Turf – 5:49 PM)
- Double Dutch Play: (5) Mrs. Gambolini – 5/1
Stakes races often swing wide open. Mrs. Gambolini offers price and class—your DD stakes pick.
Race 11 – $45,000 Claiming (1 1/16 Miles Turf – 6:20 PM)
- Double Dutch Play: (11) Union Express – 15/1
We close the card with another bomb. If Union Express can fire late, you’ll end the day cashing DD money.
