Play of the Day – July 2nd 2021
| Play of the Day | |
| Race Date | July 02, 2021 |
| Track | Belmont Park |
| Race | 9 |
| Overview | A very deep and competitive NYB AOC on the turf, with several win possibilities in a race where value abounds. |
| Pace | It looks slow and there for the taking, which means #3 COLD HARD CASH (9-2) should be able to take the initiative from an advantageous inside draw. |
| Trends | Provided the rains don’t hit, early speed should be at a premium over a turf course that figures to be on the hard and firm side after plenty of use throughout the meet. |
| Best Bet | COLD HARD CASH |
| Number | 3 |
| Morning Line | (9-2) |
| Best Bet Overview | #3 COLD HARD CASH (9-2) (turf only): Potential Lone F tried the turf last time, dueled early and often, yet held ery vwell to be a close 4th in a sharp run, and shouldn’t have to work that hard here to make the lead. |
| Picks & Plays | Aggressive WP bet, strong EX over #7 and #9 with a smaller backup underneath, and a must-use/potential single to end the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Stats | 191-40-24-27 ($1.76/$5.04 ROI through 6/27) Bel Meet: 285-69-46-56 ($1.52/$4.73 ROI through 6/27) |
