Our Belmont Park best bet and value play

Best bet: U. S. S. Valor (3-5) in Race 8. The 3-5 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 8 picks and odds

Value play of the day: Le Patron (30-1) in Race 1. At 30-1 on the morning line, the price is bigger than this horse’s connections suggest.
