In the words of the immortal Dizzy Dean; ” It ain’t bragging if you can do it.” – according to the leader of the “Gashouse Gang” from the 1934 Cardinals. – Well, if you like the saying another can boast the same on Belmont Day last Saturday. – For this handicapper, it was a great day to have my E-Z Win Forms in hand.

I wanted to play the pick four. – It had a $1.5 million guarantee and ended with the Belmont Stakes. – What more could a handicapper ask when it came to their favorite wager? – Just like Dizzy Dean; Winning Ponies stepped up in a big way.

I had given myself a $100 bankroll to play. – The pick four was calling and it had the best races of the day on tap. – I was going to use the top three Winning Ponies E-Z Win Form selections. But, even with having the top three I knew I needed a big price hoping for lightning. You can have some solid prices but that one big score puts your pick-four into the four-digit territory. – After pondering, I decided the “all button” was going to be on an eleven horse field in Race #8 / The 7f Woody Stephens.

 

Race #8 – The G1 Woody Stephens – 7f 

The “all button” was pushed and from the 11 horse field #8 – Hog Creek Hustle came from out of the clouds and got up to pay $39.80. – The pick four was started in fine fashion!

 

Race #9 – The G1 Metropolitan – 1 mile

The top three E-Z Win Form selections:

 

#3 – Mitole, #4 – Thunder Snow, and #1 Coal Front – The top selection was a winner and paid $9.00. – On to leg number three!

 

Race #10 – The G1 Manhattan – 1 1/4 on turf

There was a standout and the public agreed. It also was the top selection – #8 Bricks and Mortar. – Irad Ortiz and Chad Brown are the magic potion together, and this guy may be the best turf runner in the country. – He did not disappoint paying $3.30. – It was time for the big money shot as we came upon the closing leg the 151st Belmont.

 

Race #11 – The G1 Belmont Stakes – 1 1/2

The top three selections were: #7 – Sir Winston, #6 – Spinoff, and #8 – Intrepid Heart – As the field turned for home Joel Rosario weaved in and out of traffic and went to the winner’s circle paying a whopping $22.40! – The $1 pick-four paid a sweet $4,236 bucks! – I was one happy handicapper, to say the least, and have the E-Z Win Forms to thank for my big day.

 

Tomorrow, there is a star-studded card on tap at Churchill Downs. – There’s an eleven race card on tap chock full of stake races featuring the G2 Stephen Foster Stakes – The action starts at 6:00 pm EDT, and you won’t be disappointed. – It’s never too early to download your Winning Ponies E-Z Win Forms and make your wagering plans now. I did, and you can bet dollars to donuts I’ll have my selections in hand long before post time. – As Dizzy said, “It ain’t Bragging.” – He was right then and you could be on board for a big night at the races! – Best of luck from your friends at Winning Ponies!
