Belmont Park picks, race by race
- 6Top pickLimes Don't LieDavis D · Brown Chad C
Why Limes Don't Lie: Just ran a sharply improved race. Finished 2nd in her last start, 2½ lengths behind the winner. Rarely runs a bad one: top three in 5 of 6 lately.
- 1Top pickCharlotte's BeachCastellano J J · Casse Mark
Why Charlotte's Beach: Took a big step forward last time. Has a slight edge on speed in a tightly matched field. Finished 2nd in her last start, a head behind the winner.
- 4Top pickLady RoseLezcano J · Rice Linda
Why Lady Rose: Narrowly the fastest on recent figures. Was only 7½ lengths from winning last time. Has hit the board in 5 of her last 6 starts.
Value play1 Sweetest Princess Bet at 4-1 or higher
The public let her go at 11-1 last out, and the ratings say that was a mistake. Last start was a clear jump forward for her. Ran 2nd last out, beaten 7 lengths.
- 6Top pickFlorida PatriotSantana R Jr · Morley Thomas
Why Florida Patriot: Nobody else in the field has run as fast as her lately. Was only a head from winning last time. Thomas Morley gets good results with horses coming off a layoff.
Trackside Edge: full top three with win estimates, pace notes and confidence for this race. Unlock
- 4Top pickGround SupportBeschizza A · Danner Kelsey
Why Ground Support: Just ran a sharply improved race. Holds a small speed edge in a bunched-up field. Finished 3rd in her last start, a neck behind the winner.
Value play10 Beach Heist Bet at 10-1 or higher
Rates as a live contender but projects as an overlooked price. Won last time out in a allowance. Took a big step forward last time.
- 5Top pickPantherianFranco M · Pletcher Todd A
Why Pantherian: Finished 2nd in his last start, 6½ lengths behind the winner. Trainer Todd Pletcher has a strong record with horses coming off long layoffs. Comes back fresh after a 11-month break.
Value play4 East Coast Girl Bet at 4-1 or higher
The kind of contender the betting tends to underrate. Comes in off a win. Second-best recent figures in the field.
- 3Top pickMaterial GirlFranco M · Brown Chad C
Why Material Girl: Clearly the fastest horse in the field on recent figures. On the upswing, getting better every time out. Ran 2nd last out, beaten 1½ lengths.
Value play5 Furry Fox Bet at 10-1 or higher
Went off at 15-1 last time but rates as a real contender here. Bullet work on Oct 3, best of 74 at the distance. Roshan Samsundar gets good results with sprinters.
- 1Top pickLife's DynamicSanchez M J · Delacour Arnaud
Why Life's Dynamic: Has improved in each of the last three starts. Comes in off a win at 6-1. Proven on turf with 2 wins.
- 6Top pickScorchLezcano J · Abreu Fernando
Why Scorch: Only one horse in here has run faster lately. Finds a softer field today. Has run well at 6 furlongs before.
Value play9 Clap Back Bet at 6-1 or higher
Should be a bigger price than this horse's chances deserve. Trainer Charlton Baker has a strong record with claimers. Proven at this kind of distance.
Also eligible, runs only if there are scratches: Cocoa Mills, It's Nancytime Now

Belmont Park picks FAQ
Are these Belmont Park picks free?
Yes. Every Belmont Park card gets a free top pick for every race, a value play with the minimum odds worth taking, and the Best Bet of the day. Trackside Edge members also get the top three in every race with win estimates, pace notes, confidence ratings and multi-race tickets.
When are Belmont Park picks posted?
Our Belmont Park picks go up before the card, once entries are out, usually a day or more ahead. This page always shows the current or next Belmont Park card, and every past card stays in the archive below.
How are the Belmont Park picks made?
Every horse is rated by the TracksideProfits handicapping model: speed figures, current form and the likely pace first, then trainer and jockey, distance and surface fit and pedigree, then class, layoffs and workouts.
What does "Bet at 6-1 or higher" mean on a value play?
It is the lowest price at which the value play is worth a bet based on our win estimate. If the horse is shorter than that at post time, the value is gone.
What if one of the picks scratches?
Move to the next pick in that race. Picks are made before scratches and late changes, so always check the final field before you bet.
