Coast-to-coastTwo winners on top in nine races (Belmont, $6.70; Churchill, $10.20). In the gimmick department, we stepped up to the plate and took a stand -- it was the only way to make money in the four-horse field -- in the Phipps at Belmont and grabbed the cold $18.60/$2 exacta. We had a cold tri ($150.80/$2) in the Aristides at Churchill. Our top three boxed for a tri in the Moseley at Suffolk. And our top four boxed for a nice $242.80/$2 tri at Calder.
All told, by the end of the day we had grabbed a solid 73% ROI.
