Horse Racing picks for Belmont Park race track on Thursday, June 23: Beat the books with Brilliant Brooks

Swiss Skydiver wins the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Racetrack.

There is plenty of great horse racing across America on Thursday, including at Belmont Park race track. We have been on fire with our picks for a long time now and are up +311.23 units with our race selections to our recommended stakes dating back to August 5, 2021. We hit a 4/1 winner on Wednesday, too, s let’s keep it rolling!

Here are our best bets for today’s action at Belmont Park.

3:38 pm Belmont Park (Race 2) – Rough Tough Love 9/5 (2-star play)

Off the mark at the third time of asking when making all to win by one-and-three-quarter-lengths in a $40,000 maiden claiming race over six furlongs on a sloppy track at Parx in April. Put a subsequent disappointment at Laurel behind her when finishing one-and-three-quarter-lengths clear of her five rivals in a $25,000 claimer over six furlongs here just over a month ago. Dylan Davis rides once more and she is taken to complete a double down slightly in grade.

5:13 pm Belmont Park (Race 5) – Marvelous Maude 6/5 (2-star play)

A dual winner from six starts the daughter of Slumber has finished on the board in both outings since winning an allowance over a mile-and-one-sixteenth here last October. Made a pleasing return this campaign when one-and-a-quarter-lengths this over the same track and trip on a turf track described as good. Shapes as if the extra sixteenth here will suit and with Irad Ortiz up looks capable of scoring here following a 48.87 four furlong breeze on dirt at Saratoga.

5:43 pm Belmont Park (Race 6) – Brilliant Brooks 5/2 (2-star play)

Showed fair form at stakes level when finishing fourth in the six-and-one-half-furlong Peeping Tom at Aqueduct back in March. Made just the one appearance since with that resulting in a one-and-three-quarter-length success in a six furlong starter contest here last month. Has defied wide draws in the past and looks up to delivering a victory under Manny Franco and in the process help handler Horacio De Paz improve on his impressive 28% strike-rate (8/29) at this meeting.
