BELMONT WEEK THIS WEEK!

HAPPY BELMONT WEEK EVERYONE!


It is official that the Belmont Stakes field has been entered, led by classic winners Sovereignty and Journalism.

Eight horses were entered Sunday June 1, 2025, for this weekend's running of the Belmont Stakes 2025 at Saratoga.

Entries and jockey assignments were announced during the draw for the rest of Saturday's card. Post positions for the $2 million Belmont will be determined Monday June 2 starting at around 5 p.m. EDT.

Meanwhile, the big weekend starts on Friday June 6 (2025) where there are good betting races all over the country.

Let's start the weekend off with a BANG!


What better way to do that than do a parlay betting strategy?


1st leg:

1 1/8 Miles
Fillies and Mares
4 Year Olds And Up
STAKES Purse: $500,000

Date: Friday June 6, 2025
Track: Saratoga
Race: 9
Surface: dirt

Horse: Leslie's Rose (ML 7-2)

Bet Leslie's Rose to win, place using double down betting strategy.



2nd leg:

1 1/8 Miles
Fillies
3 Year Olds
Acorn Stakes G1
Purse: $500,000

Date: Friday June 6, 2025
Track: Saratoga
Race: 11
Surface: dirt

Horse: Shred the Gnar (ML 3-1)

Bet Shred the Gnar to win, place using double down betting strategy.

Shred the Gnar holds the distinction of being earned the highest Beyer Speed Figure of any 3-year-old fillies this year (2025) thus far, resulting from her first-level, two-turn dirt allowance romp on May 2, 2025 (at Churchill Downs).

It's not just the Beyer numbers, not just one race. Shred the Gnar finished fast and missed by a neck debuting over six furlongs Feb. 9 (2025) at Gulfstream Park. She came back five weeks later and won a one-turn mile maiden race by 6 1/2 lengths, good for an 89 Beyer.

The filly, by Into Mischief out of Aspen Light, has plenty of speed but relaxes for her rider. In the May 2 race, a decent Juddmonte homebred, Chasten, came to her at the quarter pole. Shred the Gnar said buh-bye and won by more than seven.

"She's been nothing but impressive," said Brian Lynch, who trains Shred the Gnar for Flying Dutchmen Breeding and Racing. "I wouldn't be frightened to try the Acorn with her."

"We've always held a very high opinion of her, and it's been lovely to watch her progress. We get excited about running her farther, too. She's got such an efficient action," Lynch said.


We're going for a mild upset of the heavy favorite Good Cheer (ML 1/2).

If you want to do an exacta box with Good Cheer on the side -- go ahead!

Per parlay rule states that win, place, show only betting.

And personally, I will stick to the parlay rule.




3rd leg:

1 3/16 Miles
Fillies and Mares
4 Year Olds And Up
STAKES Purse: $750,000


Date: Friday June 6, 2025
Track: Saratoga
Race: 12
Surface: dirt

Horse: She Feels Pretty (ML 3-5 heavy favorite -- a cinch horse)

Bet She Feels Pretty to win and put all of the accumulated money on him because he is going to win this race in a romp.
