Rocket Picks 🚀: Pimlico and Belmont Park for May 18, 2023

Let’s get another big Thursday of racing kicked off today! Today, we will look at the late Pick 3 from Belmont Park. We will also have full card selections for Pimlico for the paid Rockets, so be sure to check those out. Let’s GO!

Below is our FREE Late Pick 3 for Belmont Park:

Race 7: Allowance Optional Claiming

We will single #4 Following Sea to kick this thing off for trainer Todd Pletcher. It’s nice to see him return today, especially since it has been so long since we have seen him in acton. He should win this one fairly easily if he ready to run off of this long layoff.

Race 8: Allowance Optional Claiming

#6 Bahamian Club returns from a layoff today after showing promise in her last two starts on this circuit. She gets some class relief in this spot as well. #8 Regal Realm goes for two in a row today after defeating allowance runners last time out at Gulfstream Park. She should be a big part of the early pace. We will also use #7 Wonka on the ticket.

Race 9: Maiden Claiming

#1 My Cara Mia Mine runs second off of the layoff today, while also getting some major class relief, which should help. #5 Queens Over Threes moves over to the turf today after running second at this level over the dirt in her last start. The turf could help her chances. We will also use #6 Gotham Gray and #2 Pauciloquent on the ticket.
