Let's get the racing week on the NYRA circuit off to a fast start. Here are a couple of main track plays Thursday.
Belmont at the Big A | Race 2 | 1:45 pm ET
#7 She's Complicated (3-1 morning line odds) has the best maiden win among this field of horses all looking for a second career score. She's got early speed, a top speed jockey in Kendrick Carmouche and the the Linda Rice barn came out swinging with 4 wins early in this new race meeting. Win bet #7.
Belmont at the Big A | Race 6 | 3:45 pm ET
#2 Bold Endeavor (7-2 morning line odds) is pefectly drawn with some inside pace as the rail runner is devoid of any early speed. Both jockey Manny Franco and trainer Ilkay Kanarmaci have exceptional stats the past 4 years when competing with cheaper claiming horses over this 1-1/8 miles endurance test at Aqueduct. Win bet #2.
