Video: Belmont Stakes Day All G1 Pick 5 with David Aragona

Though some horseplayers are lamenting the short fields and short prices on the Belmont Stakes undercard, handicapper Sara Elbadwi has found opportunities for value in those classy races. She is joined by New York Racing Association morning line maker David Aragona to discuss the All Grade 1 Pick 5 wager that culminates with the Belmont Stakes.

Her approach to the sequence is to increase the base wager and press opinions with confidence by using three singles. Aragona offers explanations behind his morning line and outlines his thought process in making We the People the favorite for the Belmont Stakes. They agree in two out of the five races with some differing opinions on how bettors could approach the grass events. Turf racing upsets seem more likely than dirt ones within these stakes.
