The Triple Crown wraps up tomorrow with a competitive edition of The Belmont Stakes. Hopefully, any additional rain stays away, and these fields hold together.

As is typically the case, we’ve got coverage from all parts of the ITM Network covering the activities from this weekend. But we want to make sure you’re fully aware of the unique 2-day wagers that are on offer at Belmont. We support innovative approaches and think you’ll like the offerings as well. For more details visit the wagering menu page. We also have a summary below.

While there’s plenty of action around the country between now and Saratoga, the semi-normalcy of this weekend has me longing for what figures to be a terrific summer upstate. With that…

MYWAYP,

PTF

As usual, it’s a busy week for ITM Plus. We have an exclusive podcast covering today’s Late Pick 5 and another that tackles the Early Pick 5 tomorrow. Drew Coatney provided an extensive overview of the 2-Day Pick 4 with a deep dive on how to approach wagering given the $2 minimum. We’ll also have a Picks Grid for all of the Graded Stakes on Saturday among other things. Oh, and there’s a mandatory payout on the P6 from Santa Anita on Sunday and we’ll cover that. That’s a month’s worth of value in a single weekend! Join us…

The ITM blog is a great page to save to ensure you’re not missing any of the daily analysis by the team.
