Lightly-raced and improving, 3-year-old missed by just under a length at this claiming price April 20 at Aqueduct. He's worked four times since on the Saratoga training track and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #3 (My Uncle Al) (9-5) - The morning line favorite, he's making his first start outside of his home state of California. He finished second at this tag and trip May 7 at Santa Anita in his first ever in a claimer. High percentage trainer Bob Diodoro, who is at Belmont for the first time has already won with 7-of-21 (33%) at this still young meet.
3rd pick: #6 (Happy Match) (2-1) - Well bred 4-year-old has been sharp in both starts since trainer Tony Dutrow dropped him down to this $20K claiming price. Speed/stalker draws outside of the other contenders and this son of 'Tiznow' must be left in the mix.
