Horse Racing Today’s Best Bet Horse Racing Tips
Belmont Park
Ron Rippey (nj.com)
Best Bet – Race 6: Abra (PP: 3 ML 7/5)
Rip’s Comments:
“favored in all five races, dips to career low.”
Dave Litfin (DRF)
Best Bet – Race 6: Abra (PP: 3 ML 7/5)
Dave’s Comments:
“has been favored for all five starts, and figures to be a clear choice again as he takes a multi-level price drop; outdueled through scorching half-mile most recently, but this shapes up as a softer pace matchup drawn right outside RIVERDANCE ROCK.”
Vic Cangialosi (ny post)
Best Bet – Race 2: Carnival Court (PP: 2 ML 6/5)
Dave’s Comments:
“provided runaway victory as heavy favorite in last. Faces winners today and tightens up a 1/16th. Not as easy here but should get the lead and hold.”
Calder Race Course
Toby Callet (house handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 2: Wiser Now (PP: 6 ML 2-1)
Emerald Downs
Scott Hanson (seattle times handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 4: Sovereign Bay (PP: 5 ML 3-1)
Scott’s Comments:
“is a big threat to lead gate to wire as there is not a lot of early speed in this race.”
Gulfstream Park
Ron Nicoletti (house handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 7: Mystic Strike (PP: 5 ML 2-1)
Ron’s Comments:
“beautifully bred for the turf, the son of Smart Strike makes his career grass debut after an impressive entry-level allowance score on the main track in which he drew away to win by 4-plus lengths. Trainer Phil Gleaves is 20% with the dirt-to-turf angle.”
Long Shot – Race 2: Singmetothemoon (PP: 5 ML 8-1)
Hollywood Park
Brad Free (DRF)
Best Bet – Race 6: Decoy (PP: 8 ML 5/2)
Brad’s Comments:
“faced better recently in Northern California than she meets in this restricted claimer ($16k, non-winners two). She figures for a good trip positioned third behind the two speeds; her No Cal-based trainer Jedd Josephson has won with 3 of his last 6 shippers to this circuit including Apollo Ten two months ago. He was making the same drop as this filly.”
Mike Superstein (house handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 6: Decoy (PP: 8 ML 5/2)
Mike’s Comments:
“ships down from the Bay Area, where the Artie Schiller filly has finished in the money 6 of 7 starts. One can question today’s drop from $40,000 starter allowance to a non-winners of two lifetime, but we’ll trust Jed Josephson, one of the top conditioners in Northern California.”
Michael Burns (house handicapper)
Mejor Apuesta – Race 8: Golden Itiz (PP: 2 ML 5/2)
Michael’s Comments:
“cuatro de sus triunfos han sido en nueve presentaciones sobre la pista de Betfair Hollywood Park, incluso un triunfo en el Grado III Affirmed Handicap en el 2010.”
Los Alamitos Race Track
Ed Burgart (track announcer)
Best Bet – Race 7: Roverated (PP: 5 ML 1-1)
Ed’s Comments:
“lugged in steadily to the 1/16-pole after breaking fast when strong second vs. rapid winner in promising debut.”
Monmouth Park
Ron Rippey (nj.com)
Best Bet – Race 5: Catholic Cowboy (PP: 5 ML 3-1)
Rip’s Comments:
“bombed on grass and then turned in a best-of-61 workouts for return to dirt with addition of blinkers.”
Prairie Meadows
John Hernandez (track handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 3: Dixie’s Honor (PP: 6 ML 2-1)

Saratoga Raceway
Sardella’s Selections (house handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 1: Dream In Chocolate (PP: 4 ML 3-1)
Sardella’s Comments:
“Solid second from post eight in her return to town, gets it done here.”
Best Bet – Race 10: Cool Like That (PP: 3 ML 6/5)
Sardella’s Comments:
“Paced 1:53 in his local debut when second, that would be plenty here.”
Woodbine Racetrack (thoroughbred)
Jim Bannon (house handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 3: Go Greely (PP: 1 ML 6/5)
Jim’s Comments:
“was emphatically endorsed in his opener and won it despite being shuffled back to last and starting over to provide a winning rally; his inside post could be challenging here; he has missed some time leading to this event but has had two recent works getting ready; he gets a reported time of 59.4 in his work June 30th for John Ross.”
