**Preferred Plays, *Live Longshots, ***Bombs Away Longshots
Wednesday, June 23
BELMONT
RACE 9
3 POLITICAL AGENDA* 5-2 LS
1 MONTANA KNIGHT 8-5
10 BLUE HORSESHOE 4-1
2 SOMETHING GOLD 6-1
POLITICAL AGENDA earned good pace figures against much
tougher in turf routes last two starts including last tiring
effort which he probably needed; makes first start for a
tag, cuts back to a sprint for hot barn...MONTANA KNIGHT
rallied to finish 2nd against Macho Joe, a sharp drop down
winner who was my Preferred Play in last; the third place
horse came right back to win next start so it was a live
race, one to beat...BLUE HORSESHOE returns off a 20 month
absence but trainer Carlos Martin excells off long layoffs
and this 3yo takes a key drop here.
