Racing was conducted on only three days last week at Belmont, and the pick six survived all three cards, leading to a carryover of $326,010 when racing resumes on Wednesday.  The sequence begins with race 4 and includes three races on turf and three on dirt. Race 4: The opening leg is an entry-level allowance race for New York-bred fillies and mares set for 1 1/16 miles on the Widener turf course. The Lawrence Goichman-owned entry of #1 Ascender and #1a Myhartblongstodady is favored on the morning line, with Myhartblongstodady the preferred half of the coupling. She hasn't won since easily defeating maidens in her career debut back in April, and she has lost two in a row as the favorite, both at Saratoga, but Myhartblongstodady was unlucky in each of those defeats and is the horse to beat in this spot. She just has to overcome the outside post.  The two horses I will back up with are #2 Theaterintheround and #10 Southern Gal.  Theaterintheround has improved this year and exits a win at Saratoga that is better than it looks. She missed the break and came wide to easily defeat $40,000 non-winners-of-two claimers. She was dropped in class for that race by connections that can afford to lose a horse like her, and was picked up by a sharp trainer in Ray Handal. Handal has started 10 horses off the claim in turf routes dating back to December 2016 and won with three of them at odds of 18-1, 14-1 and 2-1, with another finishing second in a photo at odds of 7-1, good for an ROI of $7.77.   Southern Gal is returning from a layoff but is lightly raced and ran well in both of her turf starts as a 2-year-old, including an easy win in her first route attempt.  A: 1a B: 2, 10 Race 5:  The second leg is a wide-open sprint for 2-year-old New York-breds. Horse #1, Steam Engine, flashed good speed to get clear at Saratoga in his debut and was run down late as the favorite. He is trained by the dangerous Brad Cox, whose runners in this situation underperform (past five years, 2-year-old maiden, second start, dirt, sprint: 9 for 38, 24%, $1.08 ROI, with 6 of the 9 wins coming in maiden claiming company - he's 3 for 21 in MSW races with a $0.92 ROI). He moves to the rail after breaking from the outside in that first start, though he has the kind of speed that may allow him to overcome the draw.  Horse #8, Stop Me If You Can, already has three runs under his belt and faced some tough rivals in each of those races. His three Beyer Speed Figures are all faster than anything his more lightly raced rivals have managed to run. He is difficult to leave out.  Horse #5, Grammi Dance, and #7, Six Brothers, exit a strong race for the level on Aug. 30 at Saratoga, and both can step forward. Grammi Dance goes for Rick Violette, and while you generally want first-time starters from this barn, he raced very greenly first out. Six Brothers flashed good speed to duel around the turn with the eventual winner of that race, and then tired in the stretch. His speed makes him dangerous at this level and he is drawn outside of Steam Engine.  A: 1, 5, 7, 8 Race 6:  This turf sprint features four that ran against each other in this condition on Aug. 27 at Saratoga. Of those I most want #5, Thunder's Honor, who was caught contesting the pace three wide and tired while making his first start off the layoff. He was making his turf debut in his prior start back in January at Gulfstream, and was an impressive winner of that race after a stalking trip.  The other horse I'll use out of the Aug. 27 race is the consistent #4, New York Song. Horse #8, Corot, won easily when turned back to sprint on a synthetic track in June at Woodbine, and he turns back again here after trying to route on turf and proving to be no match for stakes company.  A: 5 B: 4, 8 Race 7: Horse #6, Adonis Creed, is dropping in class and cutting back to seven furlongs for the first time after losing his rider while on the way to victory at Monmouth last month. The shorter distance of this race could be a concern, I suppose, but he ran very well two starts back when cutting a legit pace going longer vs. some much better horses, and he is quite a bit better than these horses with his good race.  A:  6 C:  3, 4 Race 8:  The $150,000 Joseph A. Gimma for 2-year-old filly New York-breds has drawn a field of seven to try seven furlongs for this first time. Horse #4, Elegant Zip, has run well in each of her two starts, both for trainer David Donk, including a maiden win most recently where she defeated a rival that may be better than anything she faces in the Gimma. She looks like the horse to beat.  Horse #1, More Mischief, didn't care for the sloppy track she encountered in her debut and failed to fire at a short price, but she was much better over a fast track last time. She appears to be able to take on added distance and projects to have plenty of pace in front of her.  A:  1, 4 B:  2 Race 9: Horse #5, Zecha, ran the best of her career at this level last time. She finally broke cleanly and contested the pace, only to be closed down late. She is tough with a repeat of that effort, but horses like the #2, Chutzpah (dropping in class and adding Lasix after proving to be no match for some much better horses last time), and #8 One Cool Kitten (has speed and was done in when unable to make the lead over a speed-favoring sloppy track last time), are eligible to improve enough to be factors.  A:  5 B:  2, 8 C:  3, 4, 7
