Featured Track/Race:   Belmont Park – Race 6 
   
Race overview:  A competitive 30k N2L for 3up routing 1 1/16 on the inner turf. 
   
Pace:  There’s not much here, which means #6 NO REGARD (15-1), with Carmouche up, may be aggressive and try to make the front over #3 Spettro (6-1), who is the speed on paper, but isn’t all that fast. 
   
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:  #6 NO REGARD (15-1) (turf only): Stiff class dropper was in way too tough against 50k starters off an MCL win but now drops, and will (hopefully) be sent by the always aggressive Carmouche, which means she can get brave over a turf course that has carried speed. 
   
Bet Types:    WPS bet and worth using in the late Pk5, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well.
