Best bet of the day at Belmont Park

Best bet: Ur Desire (6-5) in Race 1. The 6-5 morning-line favorite, so the track handicapper rates this horse as the one to beat. Edgard Zayas has won 21 of 130 rides (16%) at New York tracks in our records. Race 1 picks and odds

Value play of the day: Trapping Hands (50-1) in Race 5. At 50-1 on the morning line, the price is bigger than this horse’s connections suggest.
