Belterra Park

At the time of this writing on Monday, there was heavy rain in the area and the turf rail still needed to be adjusted. Heavy rain is predicted for Tuesday as well. – I doubt very greatly there will turf racing Tuesday or Wednesday.

Race #1 – #1 – Miss Vicky = is a daughter of Bellamy Road and sports a 2 for 2 ITM record at BtP. She will have plenty of speed and the rail post is winning at a 23% clip. This is her 3rd off the layoff move and should be a major factor today.

Race #2 – #6 – East Code = takes a big plunge in class shipping in from GP. This is his 1st start for Michelle Elliot barn, and that yields a 21% win rate. He’s been knocking on the door at higher levels and should enjoy the class relief today.

Race #4 – #3 – Kissinger = is a 1st-time starter by Tapiture who wins 18% with his first-timers to the races. Trainer Robert Gorham wins 14% with 1st timers and rider Christian Pilares notches a 23% win clip with new runners.

Race #6 – #2 – Plea = hails from the Tom Drury barn and has the services of his go-to-rider John McKee. If they run on the grass she is bred to relish the sod. Her dam has 11 starters, 8 winners, and 2 have come on the green. Drury is red-hot this year notching a win in the Bluegrass at Keeneland a few weeks ago.

Race #7 – #1 – True to Dixie = is fresh off the claim for Oscar Barrera III who is winning 38%. He is 4 for 4 ITM and the trainer comes from a long line of trainers and his runners always look good taking the track.
