Winning Ponies

It will be a big day in The Big Apple on Saturday as we mix up the flow of the traditional Triple Crown. Usually the 1 1/2 mile Belmont Stakes is the last in the series, but this year it will be the first and run at 1 1/8 miles. It will be a sure thing for a berth in the Kentucky Derby for the winner and an evenly matched field of 10 are set to go to the post. There will be a total of 6 graded stakes races with 4 of the Grade 1 events – The Belmont, Jaipur, Acorn and Woody Stephens. The lone Grade 2 event is the Pennine Ridge and the Grade 3 is the Wonder Again. To help us sort out the top horses in these quality fields we were able to secure HRRN’s Anthony Stabile and the DRF’s Dan Illman. These two top handicappers will join host John Engelhardt to give out their best picks and betting strategies for this exciting day of racing.
