Jimbo-- glad you brought this up, I reviewed all the Belmont Day dirt races before they sealed and re-opened the track. Four of the six are definitely right. The two sprint stakes are slightly more likely right than wrong, but there is still a question-- I'm going to look at them again in a couple of weeks when we get one more start on some of these.
I did not like Ultra Pop at all-- I had a pretty good argument with Alan about him. I didn't like the really high bounce one bit, and didn't think it was because of the distance. I boxed 1-4 in the race, didn't hit either.
Michael-- I haven't seen the work yet, but according to Grening today on TV, they sealed the track for the last two races yesterday. It got slower, and in general that appears to be what happens when they do that.
I'm attaching the race Ultra Pop came out of 6/11. It was the last race of the day, the one I took off 15 points from. Looks pretty good so far-- think about how it would look if you added, making the assumption that without weather changes the track doesn't change speed-- like only one figure maker does.
