Belmont at the Big A & Keeneland Picks – Top Horses, Odds, and Betting Predictions For 10/17/25
Belmont at the Big A Race 8
4 Ican drops in after finishing an even 4th versus much tougher and this Colt gets in rather light at 118lbs. Colt rarely runs a bad one. He fits well here and the price is right. Win Contender
5 Trust Fund has reeled 3 straight victories as he climbs the class ladder. This race is much tougher task than the state Breds he’s been facing but this Colt is in form and just might be up to that task. Win Contender
6 Silo Ridge could make some noise in here at a price. Gelding is much better than 8th place at the Spa last out. Live Longshot
Selections 4-5-6-3
Keeneland Race 4
4 Cardiff Reef showed some serious early foot her first start on the turf and faltered late in the stretch run. Filly should be able to get to front today and could be even quicker on the firm Keeneland turf. I like this gals chances to wire this inexperienced group. Win Contender
2 Lion Lake was last seen facing a tough group of Maidens at Kentucky Downs finishing an even 4th versus a large field of 12. This is a much easier spot for this daughter of Dark Angel. Major Threat
8 Beach Heist makes her debut for the William Warden barn today. Filly is out of up and coming Sire Omaha Beach, whose siblings have run well when sprinting on debut. Don’t Ignore
Selections 4-2-8-7
Keeneland Race 9
3 Bergen has run two very sharp races since switching surfaces to the turf, finishing second in his first two starts on the blades. Colt has a strong late foot and enters here off a 3/71 bullet. Win Contender
10 Attaché is another late runner who has excellent chance to get his pic taken today. He exits from a rallying third place finish versus a tougher group of horses last out and has fired two sharp works since. Win Contender
9 Surf City just might get an ideal fast pace upfront to set up his closing kick. Live Longshot
