Got some news on two Weaver Live horses running today.
Belmont 3rd
oc $35k n2x NY Bred 6f
#5 CITY TROOPER, 6-1
Former stakes runner by City Zip had surgery, comes back for 2nd off layoff. He really likes it back at Belmont and trainer says he is very live in here today.
#4 QUICK MONEY, 3-1
will try to go w2w here today.
#2 & #3 are the ml fav's but both have many reasons to look elsewhere
TRIFECTA 4/5--4/5--2/3
Race 7
alw $52k n1x 7f turf
Keep your eye on the weather, this play is turf only.
#2 FRIVOLOUS BUCK, 7/2
6 yo ny bred was given the winter off. 5 works over the last 30 days signals readiness in her return in cut-back to 7f. Enough speed in here to set up her late kick. Trainer says all systems on go for a big race in return.
#3 COSSET, 3-1
Didn't take to poly in her last. Return to turf makes this one a must use.
#6 PRINCESS MAURA, 5-1
also took the winter off. 4 speedy works in April and moves up on a yielding turf.
#9 GOLDEN GALLEON, 8-1
throw out last when she fell on face and was vanned off. Came right back to work ok. Previous efforts make this one great value for Pletcher/Ramon
#1 EXCHANGE FUNDS, 6-1
Quick recent works. Sleeper for minor rewards.
#10--just won't leave Little Davey Cohen out of a super.
$1.00 Superfecta($26.00)
2/3--2/3/6--1/6/9--1/6/9/10
GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

#13 CURLINA, a MTO looks very playable but expect 5/2 at best
#5 City Trooper got a real mud bath around the turn and didn't like it, finishing 4th, the #4 Quick Money went w2w
The track at Belmont is sealed and looks terrible. I would recommend looking for horses with early speed so as to stay out of the mud.
GOOD LUCK!
In the 4th - Easy speed winner and speed exacta.
Belmont 3rd
#2 MALIBU GLOW, 3-1
Connections can't be any happier to land in this spot. As you know, Weaver's not known for having his horses ready to fire 1st out, however, this one showed alot in his first. Should sit just off the #1 Big Herman, like he did in last, and get a dream trip under new go-to guy Fast Eddie Castro, who is starting to get all of George's mounts when Javier has other committments. If you believe in the theory that all horses show vast improvement in their 2nd start, and who the hell doesn't, then this should be a major play today.
This race has a ml fav, a Juddmonte homebred for Mott, who looks like a race is needed. A throw-out for me, and with a track drying out, I will use #2 over the 1--4--6 in tri key with a major play on #2 MALIBU GLOW. GOOD LUCK TODAY, and I will post others later when I get my morning info from CD.
