Where we’d put our money at Belmont Park

Best bet: Unlock the Value (2-1) in Race 5. The 2-1 morning-line favorite, so the track handicapper rates this horse as the one to beat. Manuel Franco has won 30 of 149 rides (20%) at New York tracks in our records. Race 5 picks and odds

Value play of the day: Bourbon Hangover (50-1) in Race 2. At 50-1 on the morning line, the price is bigger than this horse’s connections suggest.
