Horse Racing picks for Belmont Park race track on Sunday, July 10: Listentoyourheart when betting

2:40 pm Belmont Park (Race 5) – First To Act 5/2 (2-star play)

Showed plenty of promise despite suffering a ten length defeat when runner-up in a seven furlong maiden special weight over seven furlongs on a sloppy track when debuting in March. Led from a relatively early stage when scoring over a mile at Aqueduct subsequently and looks up to doubling his career tally with Irad Ortiz Jr up for the first time having finished five lengths second in a mile allowance on a good main track here last month.

3:47 pm Belmont Park (Race 7) – Classic Colors 3/1 (2-star play)

Recorded a third win in seven career starts when delivering a three-quarters-of-a-length victory in a mile-and-one-sixteenth allowance optional claimer on a good turf course here in May. Returning from an absence that day having delivered a fourth over the same trip at Saratoga in August last year on his penultimate start. Delivered a number of timed works since then and is taken to help handler Christophe Clement improve on his impressive 26% strike-rate (31/120) at this meeting.

4:19 pm Belmont Park (Race 8) – Listentoyourheart 5/2 (2-star play)

Just nine to his name the five-year-old was returning from nearly a year off the track when registering a two-and-a-quarter-length victory in a seven furlong allowance optional claimer here in May. First start since a gelding operation that day and delivered a career best speed figure in the process. Has won in stakes company in the past and looks up to delivering a victory with Joel Rosario, on board last time out again booked for the ride.
