| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 7/7/2023 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Belmont Park – Race 7 |
| Race overview: | A solid MSW going 1 ¼ miles on the turf for 3up, with several who appear to have talent. |
| Pace: | There’s no burners here, and going this long, you should things to be tepid early, with a late sprint looming. |
| Trends: | The turf course has been fast and firm for the majority of the meet, which has yielded quick splits while showing a penchant for carrying speed a bit farther than you might expect. |
| Best Play: | #2 HEADLINE NEWS (3-1): Pimlico invader was bet a bit on debut for Toner, who has done no wrong all year, and was a good 4th, with trouble to boot, and you have to think this was the big spot and stage they had in mind all along. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive WP bet and single in the carryover Pk6, late Pk5, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well. |
| Meet/POD Stats: | Bel POD:
