Where we’d put our money at Belmont Park

Best bet: Extravaganzoo (6-5) in Race 3. The 6-5 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 3 picks and odds

Value play of the day: Blueberryhillkeke (50-1) in Race 7. At 50-1 on the morning line, the price is bigger than this horse’s connections suggest.
