Horse Racing picks for Belmont at the Big A on Sunday, October 30: City Man too slick for rivals

There is plenty of great horse racing across America on Sunday, including at Aqueduct race track. These races would have been taking place at Belmont Park, but construction forced a move to Aqueduct, with the meeting named Belmont at the Big A. We have been on fire with our picks for a long time now and are up more than +260 units with our race selections to our recommended stakes dating back to August 5, 2021. Let’s keep it rolling!

Here are our best bets for today’s action at Aqueduct race track.

2:44 pm Belmont At The Big A (Race 5) – City Man 6/5 (2-star play)

The winner of 2 of his last 3 starts, this son of Mucho Macho Man is a proven Graded stakes performer having taken out the Grade 3 Forbidden Apple Stakes over a mile at Saratoga 3 starts back.

He impressed that day and put a subsequent defeat at that level behind him when taking a stakes event over 9 furlongs at this track last month. The 5-year-old is selected to deliver a 5th victory of 2022 with Joel Rosario back in the saddle. 

3:16 pm Belmont At The Big A (Race 6) – Bank Sting 9/5 (2-star play)

Successful 3 times this year, this 5-year-old mare has been off the track since delivering an impressive 5 1/2 length victory in a 6-furlong stakes contest at Belmont Park in June.

She has delivered some solid works of late, including a 1:00.70 over 5-furlongs on the Belmont Park training track in her penultimate timed work and she is taken to help trainer John P Terranova II to improve on his 18% strike-rate (3/17) at this meeting.

4:53 pm Belmont At The Big A (Race 9) – Brattle House 2/1 (2-star play)

Brattle House has demonstrated some good form since joining the Bill Mott barn, following a 5-length victory in a mile allowance event at Belmont Park with 2 2nd-place finishes in allowance optional claiming contests.

The most recent of those came when she was beaten 2 3/4 lengths on a sloppy track over a mile at Aqueduct at the start of the month. She should stay this trip having impressed over a mile and 1/16th in the past and is selected to provide jockey Javier Castellano with a winner.
