Gary Sciacca hardly even wins off lengthy layups, rarely wins, even in low double-digits, but has some specialties; meaning allowances and especially on turf. And he’s batting only 5% for 2012.
But he’s profitable in all these categories; he gets horses to outrun odds.
In Loyal Shadow (10-1), he has a winning accomplice. This filly DOES win fresh, she’s 4-for-11 on Belmont turf—1-for-23 doing anything else—has three exacta finishes including two wins at the distance and, most significantly, has earned her best Equiform figures under today’s conditions.
Tapping Corey Nakatani indicates that this veteran turf sprinting mare is live.
Taking Loyal Shadow to win at 9-1 or greater, and key boxing in exactas with course loving Paraiba (8-1) and the very quick Karakorum Electra (3-1) from the hot Rice shed.

Have 5 within my betting range here, the best of which comes up 8-Lady Rizzi. The one you might want to look at if morning line is close to accurate is 6-Myrtle’s Gray, who had her tightener, and only one way to go, up, up, up. Perhaps Maragh could try not racing her in the grandstands (6-Myrtle’s Gray), as it is difficult to win from out there.....
8-Lady Rizzi (8.42)
6-Myrtle’s Gray (8.84)

Give 3-Doublespeak a big chance in the 7th; if you are able to overlook those last 2, and believe a number of positive factors will cause a turnaround here. If you have some spare change lying around, play a few doubles with this one.
