Latest Belmont At The Big A Free Picks
Belmont At The Big A hasn't raced since June 28, 2026. We publish free picks for every Belmont At The Big A card — below are the picks from that last card.
Race 1
Claiming · 1 mi · Turf
A wide-open turf claiming mile with a big ratings spread from top to bottom — the TrackWiz model identifies a clear top two but the 10-horse field creates plenty of exotic opportunity underneath.
Top of the Table draws the top TrackWiz rating in the field at 84.9 despite being listed at a generous 9/2 on the morning line — that's the kind of overlay angle we love in claiming company. Manuel Franco gets the call, and he's a rider who routinely maximizes turf routes at this level. The 15% career win rate looks modest on paper, but the rating advantage over this field is significant, and the mile on turf suits a horse of this profile.
That's Funny comes in as the morning-line favorite at 9/5 for trainer Ilkay Kantarmaci, and the 79.32 TrackWiz rating backs up that market confidence. With an 18% career win rate and Manuel Franco in the irons, this one has the tactical ability to sit close and grind. If Top of the Table falters, That's Funny is the likeliest beneficiary.
Miss Lao at 10/1 is the value anchor in our exotics here, rating out at 63.79 — a solid number in this field. Reylu Gutierrez is an underrated turf pilot and a 12% career win rate in a field this competitive isn't a dealbreaker. At double-digit odds, she's a worthwhile show/exotic inclusion if you're building a trifecta.
Race 2
Maiden Special Weight · 1 mi · Dirt
A maiden special weight mile on the dirt where the TrackWiz model tilts decisively toward the top-rated longshot over the heavily bet morning-line favorite — this sets up as a classic overlay situation worth watching closely.
Into the Unknown tops our ratings at 81.88 despite being installed at 5/1 on the morning line — a notable disconnect from the market, which has backed Close the Loop down to 4/5. Trainer Rachel Sells puts Christopher Elliott aboard, and in a maiden field where everyone is still seeking that first win, the rating edge matters. The one-mile distance on dirt gives experienced maidens who have been around the track a chance to show class.
Close the Loop is the heavy favorite for a reason — Chad C. Brown sending out a maiden at 4/5 with Manuel Franco up is a powerful trainer-jockey combo that commands respect. Brown's outfit wins with first-time starters and layoff horses at an elite clip, and a 60.0 rating with the top average speed figure (55) in the field keeps this one firmly in the picture.
My First Dinah at 10/1 is our show play at a price — trainer Eduardo E. Jones puts Reylu Gutierrez up, and the 55.97 rating ranks third in the field. The avgSpeed of 52 is a touch lower than the top contenders, but in a maiden race where others may hit a wall, a closer profile at big odds makes sense for trifecta coverage.
Race 3
Allowance Optional Claiming · 6 fur · Dirt
Six furlongs of allowance optional claiming action on the dirt — the two highest-rated horses carry opposite morning-line prices, setting up a potential pace battle between front-runners who could set it up for a closer.
Acoustic Ave is our top selection, rating out at 83.68 while posted at 9/2 — the second-highest morning-line price among the top three rated horses. Trainer Linda Rice has assembled a sharp operation and Ruben Silvera gets the mount. A 28% career win rate with an average speed of 55 puts this horse right in the thick of the pace scenario at six furlongs on dirt.
T Kraft is no slouch here — a 33% career win rate is the best win percentage among our top picks, and William Mott sending out a horse at 5/2 with Jose Lezcano means the connections believe they have a live one. The 81.73 rating is just a tick below Acoustic Ave, and the avgSpeed of 56 tops the field — this one figures to be prominent early and could simply take over.
El Grande O at 8/1 is a legitimate value play with a 79.79 rating — third-best in the race. Manuel Franco is up for trainer Linda Rice, who also runs Acoustic Ave, meaning the barn has two bullets loaded. Franco won't be in the back of the pack, and the 55 avgSpeed keeps El Grande O in range of the pace. Nice trifecta filler at a price.
