(I will reference Equibase's Speed Figure in selected races, which tells you how fast a horse has been running in each of its races -- adjusted for track, distances, and conditions).

Belmont Park Betting Picks

Check out the biggest stakes races ahead at Belmont Park, including the June 10 Belmont Stakes.

According to numberFire horse racing projections and Guaranteed Tip Sheet, these are some of the best bets to make at FanDuel Racing today. The best value option will not necessarily be the top pick(s).

FanDuel Racing's May 19 picks at Pimlico went 3-for-3 and produced an 11/1 winner on Taxed in the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes that also paid $190 on a $2 exacta bet. The May 26 picks at Belmont produced two top play winners, but both as favorites. On Sat., May 27 at Belmont, FanDuel Racing top picks went 3-for-3 including a $2 exacta payoff for $89 in Race 9.

Race 7 is a Maiden Special Weight for 3-year-olds & up at 1 1/16 miles on the turf. Guaranteed Tip Sheet has a best bet on Redistricting (3/1) with top jockey Irad Ortiz, Jr. riding for leading trainer Chad Brown. The numberFire algorithm agrees and also has Ohana Honor (8/1) as a dark horse win contender with top jockey Flavien Prat up. Redistricting makes his career debut. Ohana Honor has a pair of runner-up finishes plus a third-place finish last race with his best speed figure (84).

3. Silver Knott and Far Bridge, Race 9

FanDuel Racing Odds: 3/1 and 9/2

Race 9 is the $200,000 Grade 2 Pennine Ridge Stakes for 3-year-olds at 1 1/8 miles on the inner turf. A high-quality field of 8 is headlined by the Charles Appleby-trained invader Silver Knott (2/1), and the rising local star Far Bridge (9/5), by top trainer Todd Pletcher, who has won the last two renewals of this race. Those are the top-2 win contenders, according to numberFire's data & Guaranteed Tip Sheet with limited money to be made.
Trainer Chad Brown has three runners in the race and Kalik (7/2) is his best with top jockey Irad Ortiz, Jr. riding and GTS also has this colt in the money with a chance for the upset. Silver Knot will come flying late from off the pace on firm turf, which he prefers, and gets here, as he did when finishing 2nd in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf last Nov. as the favorite.
