Below is our free late Pick 4 for Belmont Park:

Belmont Park June 18, 2022

Race 7: Allowance Optional Claiming

#3 Fighter in the Win makes his debut in the United States in this spot for Chad Brown, who has been winning in bunches with these types of runners. He has won two of his last three starts coming into this race. #4 Merci was a solid fourth against similar horses last time out at Keeneland. That type of effort will give him a big shot today.

Race 8: Maiden Claiming

#2 Prince James drops down to the claiming ranks today after several losses at the allowance level. Atras comes into this race hot right now, which is a good sign. Atras also enters #6 Air Attack, while Joel Rosario will be aboard for the ride. He was a solid second last time out in a Starter Stakes at Aqueduct.

Race 9: Allowance Optional Claiming

#5 Mr. Kringle was second last time out at this class level going one mile, defeated by only a length. He should be right in the mix once again today. #3 Uncle George makes his third start off of the layoff today, which could produce a solid effort. He also should like this slight stretch out in distance.

Race 10: Maiden Claiming

#1 Forwardly was a solid third last time out at Monmouth Park, which was his first start after a long layoff. He should run an improved race today. #6 Acamar was decent in his turf debut last time out, while today he gets a stretch out in distance. That should help his chances.
