If you’re looking for a few Belmont Park picks for a race on Saturday, you can’t go wrong with Curlin’s Wisdom. After his juvenile finale win, this runner has a lot of potentials and will be boosted by a rider change to Kendrick Carmouche. In addition, he has improved tactical speed in recent races and has a strong pedigree as a full sibling of turf allowance winner Dancing Buck.
Curlin’s Wisdom
During his career, CURLIN’S WISDOM has been winless, finishing in fourth, third, second, and third. During his last start, he was a late lead but still finished third, and he showed some improvement inside of his rivals. This is a good sign for the colt, who should improve with a change in jockey and barn. Here are his odds for a Belmont Park win.
Colloquy
Colloquy won the maiden particular weight race at Belmont Park for a purse of $75,000. At his previous start, the two-year-old was a close second to Thrill of It. He started at a modest 2-5 and improved with his next advent, a third in the same race on February 24. He’s expected to continue his improvement in Race 3, a one-and-a-half-mile dirt assignment. In addition to Colloquy, other notable contenders include Noble Journey and Tough Tickets.
Colloquy finished second last time out at this level, but she’s being taken to improve her performance. Last time out, she earned a field-leading 92 TimeformUS Speed Figure. Colloquy had a surprisingly impressive early effort, and she was able to hang on for the win despite being saddled with Dylan Davis in the stretch. If you’re looking for value on a horse with upside, Colloquy is worth considering.
