KEY STAT: Portugal are unbeaten in their last 13 competitive games

EXPERT VERDICT: France passed a huge test by defeating Germany 2-0 in Marseille but may not be able to justify favouritism against Portugal in the final. The three-day turnaround is a big disadvantage for the hosts, who worked so hard to overcome the Germans.

RECOMMENDATION: Portugal

France v Portugal (2000BST, Paris)

Opta facts:


  • This will be the fourth meeting between Portugal and France in a major tournament. The French have won the previous three, all in semi-finals (EURO 1984, EURO 2000, World Cup 2006).
  • France have won their last 10 games against Portugal, their best current run against any team after their 13 consecutive wins against Luxembourg.
  • Portugal's last victory against France dates back to April 1975, in a friendly (2-0). They have only scored one goal in their last four games against the French national team, a penalty by Ricardo Quaresma in October 2014.
  • This will be France's fifth major tournament final. They have won three of their previous four (EURO 1984 & 2000, World Cup 1998), losing the last one they were involved in (World Cup 2006).
  • France have the opportunity to win their third consecutive major tournament on home soil after EURO 1984 and World Cup 1998. They are already the first ever European nation to take part in three major tournament finals at home.
  • France are the top scorers at EURO 2016 with 13 goals in six games. They hadn't netted that many in a major tournament since EURO 2000 (13).
  • 11 of France's 13 goals at EURO 2016 have been scored from the 42nd minute onwards.

Portugal, France clash

UEFA European Championship Final
Kick-off: Sunday 3:00 p.m. ET
Line: Portugal +350, France +100, Tie +212
Total: 2.5 (Over +160, Under -195)

Portugal and France square off at the Euro 2016 Final.

Portugal was extremely fortunate to find itself in the knockout stage after going winless in the group stage, but the Iberian nation advanced into the final thanks to an impressive 2-0 win over Wales in the semi-finals.

Rui Patricio will start in net for the Portuguese, with a defense featuring Raphael Guerreiro, Cedric Soares, and Jose Fonte. Center back Pepe could miss out through a thigh injury, and if this is indeed the case, either Bruno Alves or Ricardo Carvalho will slot in.

In midfield, William Carvalho should start after missing out in the semi-finals through yellow card suspension, with Joao Mario, Renato Sanches, and Adrien Silva also in the lineup.

In attack, feared duo Nani and Cristiano Ronaldo will hope to score and give their nation its first title in a major tournament.

France will counter with goalkeeper Hugo Lloris and a defense of Patrice Evra, Laurent Koscielny, and Bacary Sagna, with Samuel Umtiti likely to get the nod at center back over Adil Rami after a superb performance in the semi-finals against Germany.

Blaise Matuidi, Paul Pogba, and Moussa Sissoko will start in midfield, with the dangerous Antoine Griezmann and Dimitri Payet in behind Olivier Giroud in attack.

Euro 2016 championship final betting cheat sheet and odds

The Euro 2016 championship is all set. France and Portugal took vastly different routes to get to this point, but it will be a level playing field Sunday in Saint-Denis for this clash of European superpowers.

Home Sweet Home

France (Even) looks for yet another major soccer title on its home turf as it tangles with Portugal n Sunday’s European Championships final in Paris. The French side has been wildly successful as the host of a major tournament, prevailing in the 1984 Euro title game and the 1998 World Cup. France also prevailed in the 2000 European Championships as the co-host. The French had little trouble reaching the title game, cruising to a 2-0 victory over short-handed Germany in Tuesday’s semifinal

Ending the Title Drought

The Portuguese (+330) haven’t had nearly as much success on the world stage as their French opponents, coming into Sunday’s game still looking for its first major championship. The sting of a Euro 2004 final loss to Greece still lingers, but Portugal is in great shape to end 12 years of heartache after putting forth its best effort of the tournament in a 2-0 triumph over Wales in the semifinals. Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani had goals as the Portuguese won in regulation for the first time in the tournament.

How They Got Here

* France breezed through an underwhelming Group A, earning two victories and a draw to land atop the group. A 2-1 victory over Ireland in the first knockout round had some fans nervous, but that trepidation disappeared with an emphatic 5-2 win over Iceland in the quarterfinals.

* Portugal showed poor form in Group F play, settling for three draws and qualifying as one of the four bottom teams. The Portuguese needed 117 minutes to upend Croatia 1-0 in the Round of 16, then used penalty kicks to subdue Poland after the teams played to a 1-1 draw.

News and Notes

* English referee Mark Clattenburg has been tabbed to officiate Sunday’s final. Clattenburg has an impressive resume, highlighted by his appointment to the Champions League final between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

* French star Antoine Greizmann needs just one goal to set a national record for most goals in Euro history, entering Sunday tied with Thierry Henry at six goals. Greizmann is a -50,000 bet to finish as the tourney scoring leader.

Injury Update

* The Portuguese side will receive an enormous boost with the return of elite defender Pepe, who was a full participant in Saturday’s training session. Pepe was forced out of the semifinal win over Wales with a lingering thigh injury.

Weather Watch

State de France is expected to see some cloud cover but little chance of rain, with temperatures in the mid-70s at kickoff.

Props of the Day

* Antoine Greizmann to score and France to win: Yes (+250): Greizmann has been the class of the tournament, and would love nothing more than to convert one more time in front of a raucous home crowd. With France also comfortably favored, this is one of the safest doubles out there.

* Winning margin: France by 1 goal (+250): The French side should prevail in this one, but it won’t be easy. Portugal has rediscovered its world class form and will be completely healthy. Look for France to pull this one out, but it should be a close one no matter the outcome.

Key Stats and Trends

* The French have won eight straight meetings with their Portuguese foes, and are 12-2-1 in 15 all-time meetings at home.

* France defeated Portugal in both the 1984 and 2000 Euro semifinals en route to championship victories. Both games were decided in extra time.

* Ronaldo’s next Euro goal will move him past Michel Platini and into sole possession of top spot on the tournament’s all-time scoring list.

Preview: Dream (10-9) at Sun (5-13)

Date: July 10, 2016 1:00 PM EDT

The Atlanta Dream will try to keep pace with the surging New York Liberty when the Dream visit the Connecticut Sun on Sunday at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.

Atlanta (10-9) has won its last two games after losing six in a row. The Dream are second in the WNBA's Eastern Conference, 3 1/2 games behind the Liberty.

Connecticut (5-13) has won its last two games after losing six of seven. The Sun are last in the Eastern Conference, eight games behind New York.

Atlanta is coming off a 95-90 overtime victory over the Dallas Wings. Angel McCoughtry turned in one of the finest performances of her career. She scored seven points in overtime and posted the sixth triple-double in WNBA history, finishing with 27 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

Tiffany Hayes also scored 27 points in the win over Dallas. Sancho Lyttle had 10 points and 14 rebounds. Elizabeth Williams had 10 points and six blocked shots.

Connecticut is coming off its most impressive win of the season, a 93-89 overtime victory over the Minnesota Lynx. The Sun ended regulation with a 13-2 run and prevailed in overtime, overcoming a 40-point game by Minnesota star Maya Moore.

Alex Bentley scored 24 points for Connecticut. Chiney Ogwumike had 21 points and seven rebounds.

McCoughtry is fourth in the WNBA in scoring at 19.5 points per game. Hayes is 12th, averaging 16 points per contest. Bentley leads Connecticut and ranks 16th in the league in scoring, averaging 14.9 points per game.

Connecticut announced on Friday that rookie Rachel Banham has undergone season-ending micro-fracture surgery on her right knee. Recovery is expected to take four to six months.

"While we are obviously disappointed to lose Rachel for the remainder of the season, we remain tremendously excited about her bright future with the Sun," head coach Curt Miller said. "Rachel showed the potential to be an impact player in this league despite playing through significant pain for the majority of the season."

Preview: Stars (5-14) at Liberty (14-6)

Date: July 10, 2016 3:00 PM EDT

The surging New York Liberty will return to their home court to face the struggling San Antonio Stars on Sunday at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

After going 4-4 to start the season, New York (14-6) has won two in a row, four of its last five and 10 of 11. The Liberty have climbed to the top of the WNBA's Eastern Conference standings and lead second-place Atlanta by 3 1/2 games.

San Antonio (5-14) has lost two of its last three games and seven of its last 10. The Stars are last in the Western Conference, 12 1/2 games behind first-place Los Angeles.

The Liberty are coming off an 88-85 road win over the Chicago Sky. The victory made coach Bill Laimbeer the seventh coach in WNBA history with 200 wins. Tina Charles put up 29 points and nine rebounds, Sugar Rodgers added 21 points and Tanisha Wright made a late go-ahead jumper for New York.

The Liberty shot just 39.7 percent from the field while allowing Chicago to shoot 44.6 percent, but the Liberty amassed a huge 44-30 rebounding advantage, went to the free-throw line 23 times and converted on 20 free-throw attempts.

San Antonio is coming off a 78-68 loss to the Seattle Storm. Moriah Jefferson scored 16 points. Haley Peters had 15. Monique Currie and Kayla Alexander added 10 points apiece.

The Stars were without leading scorer Kayla McBride. San Antonio announced Wednesday that McBride will miss the rest of the season with a right foot fracture, a devastating blow to a team that was already having trouble competing. McBride was eighth in the WNBA in scoring at 17.1 points per game.

Charles leads the WNBA in scoring and ranks second in rebounds, averaging 22.8 points and 9.6 rebounds. Teammate Kiah Stokes is fifth in rebounding at 8.4 rebounds per game.

Preview: Mercury (8-12) at Sky (7-11)

Date: July 10, 2016 6:00 PM EDT

The streaky Phoenix Mercury is slumping again as it prepares to visit the Chicago Sky on Sunday at Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Ill.

Phoenix (8-12) has lost two in a row and three of its last four. This latest stretch followed a three-game winning streak, which was preceded by a three-game losing streak.

The Mercury has fallen into fourth place in the WNBA's Western Conference, one game behind the third-place Dallas Wings and 10 games behind the first-place Los Angeles Sparks.

Chicago (7-11) has lost two in a row and four of its last five. The Sky has fallen to fifth in the Eastern Conference behind the New York Liberty, the Atlanta Dream, the Washington Mystics and the Indiana Fever.

Teams in the East are much more tightly grouped than they are out West, with only six games separating New York from Chicago.

Phoenix is coming off a 78-60 loss to the Indiana Fever. Diana Taurasi and Kelsey Bone had 13 points apiece in the loss. The Mercury shot 45.1 percent from the field but committed 26 turnovers.

The game marked the return of Marta Xargay, who was Phoenix's starting point guard for much of the 2015 season. The team announced that it had re-signed Xargay on Friday.

Xargay, who will represent Spain in the 2016 Summer Olympics, logged 23 minutes against Indiana, posting six points on 3-of-3 shooting with two assists and two turnovers.

Chicago is coming off an 88-85 loss to New York. Allie Quigley came off the bench to score a career-high 29 points. She made 6-of-9 shots from 3-point range.

Fellow backup Jamierra Faulkner added 18 points. Chicago was outrebounded 44-30 and the team's starters combined for only 33 points. Elena Delle Donne, who is second in the WNBA in scoring at 21 points per game, was held to 14 points.

Preview: Fever (8-11) at Storm (7-12)

Date: July 10, 2016 7:00 PM EDT

Breanna Stewart will try to build on her stellar rookie season when the Seattle Storm plays host to the Indiana Fever on Sunday at KeyArena in Seattle, Wash.

Seattle (7-12) is fifth in the WNBA's Western Conference, only 1 1/2 games behind the third-place Dallas Wings. The Storm has lost six of its last nine games but is coming off a 78-68 victory over the San Antonio Stars.

Indiana (8-11) is fourth in the Eastern Conference, one game behind the third-place Washington Mystics and 5 1/2 games behind the first-place New York Liberty.

The Fever, which is in the midst of a three-game trip, has lost four of seven but is coming of a 78-60 victory over the Phoenix Mercury.

Stewart, the No. 1 pick in the 2016 WNBA Draft, was named Rookie of the Month on Thursday for the second month in a row.

In June, Stewart led all rookies in scoring, rebounding and blocked shots, averaging 19.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and two blocked shots in 11 games.

Stewart turned in a monster performance in a 78-74 loss to New York on Wednesday, finishing with 24 points and 16 rebounds. She had 21 points and seven rebounds to help Seattle snap a three-game losing streak in Friday's victory over San Antonio.

Stewart has posted seven double-doubles this season. She had a career-high 38 points in a victory over the Atlanta Dream on June 28. She is seventh in the WNBA in scoring and first in rebounding, averaging 18.8 points and 9.6 rebounds per game.

Erlana Larkins recorded her fifth double-double in Indiana's victory over Phoenix on Friday. She finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds. Tamika Catchings was held to nine points on 3-of-11 shooting.

Catchings leads the team in scoring at 13.5 points per game. Tiffany Mitchell averages 11.7 points. Brianna January averages 10.3 points. Larkins is averaging 8.8 points and 8.2 rebounds.

Seattle and Indiana have met twice this season. The Fever beat the Storm 85-75 on June 1. The Storm beat the Fever 90-88 on June 12.

Preview: Mystics (9-10) at Sparks (17-1)

Date: July 10, 2016 7:00 PM EDT

The Los Angeles Sparks will seek their seventh consecutive victory when they play host to the Washington Mystics on Sunday at Staples Center in Los Angeles, Calif.

The Sparks (17-1), who lead the Western Conference with the WNBA's best record, have won six in a row since suffering a 72-69 loss to the Minnesota Lynx on June 21. The Mystics (9-10) have lost two in a row and three of their last five.

Los Angeles is coming off a 94-88 victory over the Indiana Fever. The Sparks led 80-60 with just over six minutes remaining, but the Fever stormed back to cut the deficit to one in the final seconds. Candace Parker blocked a shot and converted a three-point play in the waning moments to help the Sparks escape with the victory.

Washington, which is in the midst of a five-game road trip, is coming off a 77-70 loss to the San Antonio Stars. Tayler Hill had a team-high 14 points for the Mystics. Emma Meesseman, Natasha Cloud and Kia Vaughn scored 10 points apiece. The Stars were without leading scorer Kayla McBride, who will miss the rest of the season with a foot fracture.

Los Angeles and Washington have already met once this season. It wasn't pretty. The Sparks handed the Mystics a 97-67 loss at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C.

Kristi Toliver had 19 points on 7-of-8 shooting in that contest for the Sparks, who shot 56.1 percent from the field. Meesseman had 13 points and 11 rebounds for the Mystics, who shot 44.4 percent but committed 21 turnovers.

Los Angeles is led by Nneka Ogwumike, who is sixth in the WNBA in scoring and fourth in rebounding, averaging 18.7 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. Parker is averaging 16.4 points per game. Toliver averages 14.4 points.

Washington's Hill is 13th in the WNBA in scoring at 15.6 points per game. Meesseman is averaging 14.6 points and 5.6 rebounds. She leads the league in 3-point shooting at 53.1 percent. Cloud is second at 47.1 percent.

At the Gate - Sunday
By Mike Dempsey

The star of Saturday was the filly Catch a Glimpse, a gate to wire winner in the $1 million Belmont Oaks Invitational (G1), stamping her ticket to the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf (G1) in November at Santa Anita.

She won her eighth race in a row and her second Grade 1 victory. Her first came in last fall’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (G1).

She stopped the timer for the 1 ¼ miles on turf in 1:59.87, which was faster than Deauville’s win in the Belmont Derby (G1). The colt won his race in gate to wire fashion for trainer Aiden O’Brien in 2:00.51.

The clunker of the day was tossed in by Private Zone in the Belmont Sprint Championship (G3). The defending champion and runner up of last year’s Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1) was sent off as the 7-5 favorite but was not a real threat in a fourth place finish.

The race was won by A.P. Indian, who was bet down from his 10-1 morning line to 6-1 and prevailed by a head over a game Marking.


Here is today’s opener from Belmont Park to get the day off to a good start:

BEL Race 1 Clm $25,000 (1:30 ET)
#3 Galardonado 7-2
#6 Erik the Red 5-2
#1 Still Krz / 1a Red Crème 3-1
#4 Beach Hut 4-1

Analysis: Galardonado dueled for the early lead and could not go with the winner late in a runner up finish against $32,000 claimers here in his first start off the claim by the Englehart barn. He was the beaten chalk two and three back after winning for this tag four back at Keeneland. He owns a solid pace profile throughout and the barn does good work with recent claims. He fits well in this spot with his best and Castellano sticks.

Erik the Red drops out of a $50,000 claimer where he was off a beat slow and not much of a threat in a sixth place finish at 4-1. He makes his third start off the layoff here and he was good enough to beat Alw-2 optional claimers over the main track here last fall. He should be closer to the pace in this spot and is in good hands with the Rice barn that has been sending out live runners at the meeting, hitting at a 27% clip.

Wagering
WIN: #3 to win at 5-2 or better.
EX: 3,6 / 1,3,6
TRI: no play

Today’s Featured Race of the Day from Belmont Park:

BEL Race 8 OClm $62,500N2X (5:13 ET)
#3 Montclair 8-1
#6 Tambourin 5-2
#4 Request 5-1
#5 Make a Decision 5-1

Analysis: Montclair won at this condition two back at Gulfstream Park going 1 3/16 miles on turf and last out checked in fourth at this distance in his local debut. The runner up Fundamental came back to beat Alw-2 optional claimers (was second by a nose and placed first via a DQ) on June 11 here. Our top pick was claimed out of his last outing by the Gargan barn that is 26% winners (with a +ROI) first off the claim. he is Group 2 placed and is proven at the distance. Seems likely to get bet down from the 8-1 morning line.

Tambourin finished evenly in a fourth place finish last out at Monmouth Park in his U.S. debut, coming back off a year layoff. He beat allowance foes at Chantilly in his second career start at 1 5/16 miles, then was fifth in Group 3 company. A nice pedigree, by Smart Strike out of the stakes winner Colony Band ($187,037). He should move forward second off the bench for the Motion barn.

Wagering
WIN: #3 to win at 9-2 or better.
EX: 3,6 / 3,4,5,6
TRI: 3,6 / 3,4,5,6 / 3,4,5,6,7

Today’s Featured Race of the Day from Laurel Park:

LRL Race 8 OClm $40,000N3X (5:16 ET)
#5 Noble Cornerstone 10-1
#3 Mr Palmer 6-5
#7 Golden Glint 4-1
#6 Old Upstart 6-1

Analysis: Noble Cornerstone stretches out from a sprint here where the gelding was not much of a threat in a ninth place finish in his first go off a 5 1/2 month layoff. He has done his best work sprinting, his last win coming last June where he beat Alw-2 optional claimers at Belmont Park. This is still one turn and he owns solid early and mid pace numbers in a race without a ton of speed. He figures to move forward off his last outing and is going to be a decent price in this spot.

Mr Palmer had the lead heading for home at this level last out but could not hold off the winner late. He has landed in the exacta in three of his four starts here including winning the Private terms back in '13. He has had a habit of landing for minor shares in his career but RRod has gotten him to the winners circle three times in his last seven starts. The logical one to beat but his price is going to be very much on the light side.

Wagering
WIN: #5 to win at 6-1 or better.
EX: 3,5 / 3,5,6,7
TRI: 3,5 / 3,5,6,7 / 3,4,5,6,7

Live Longshots:
These are price plays for exotic players looking to find a couple of extra contenders to use in their trifecta and superfecta wagers. Or for those with smaller bankrolls, you might want to get in a small win-place wager.

Belmont Park
R2: #7 Dark Street 12-1
R3: #5 Villa Savoye 20-1
R4: #7 Chatter Pattern 8-1
R7: #3 Know It All Anna 15-1
RF8: #3 Montclair 8-1

Good luck today!

Feel pretty confident putting cash down on ROYAL DRAGON. Take a look at this entrant's avg speed number of 71 and compare to today's class rating. Looks like a really good play. RED TORNADO - When Hennessy sends this nice horse out you can bet they'll be in the money, stats show them there 52 percent of the time. The knowledge group can't help but think about this race horse because the internal pace figures fit well here at Century Downs. APPELLATE - More wins than you would expect have been earned by harness racers lining up behind the 1 position at Century Downs. That 71 TrackMaster Speed Rating clocked in the last outing puts this standardbred in the mix for this race.

CONSORTIUM CHOICES


Chatsworth Consortium

# 2 OWOSSO FLASH 3/1


# 8 GRANDE SEELSTER 4/1


# 3 FOOLS GOLD 6/1


OWOSSO FLASH unquestionably gets the edge as the fine animal to beat in this race. Overall figures appear very nice. Can't throw out at this point. Could provide us a triumph based on very nice recent speed ratings - earning an avg of 87. The 86 avg class ranking may give this horse a distinct edge in the bunch. GRANDE SEELSTER - He has been battling sharply and the TrackMaster speed figs are among the most compelling in the field of horses. The 89 average class rating may give this gelding a distinct edge in the pack. FOOLS GOLD - This horse has a nose for the wire, just look at his better than average win percent. Doing work solidly, earned a sharp speed figure in his most recent race (85).

RECOMMENDED CHOICES

The Walker Group Picks

# 5 FOGOSA 2/1


# 3 MINI ESTRELLA 5/1


# 6 DONA COCO 5/2


My selection in this race is FOGOSA. With a nice Equibase class rating average of 72, has one of the best class advantages in this field. Has been racing solidly and has among the strongest speed in the race for today's distance. I like the jockey on this mare - decent chance to win the contest. MINI ESTRELLA - Ortiz will probably be able to get this mare to break out early in here. DONA COCO - Earnings per start in dirt sprint races is solid for this pony.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES

The Walker Group Picks

# 1A HEREOSAURUS REX 5/2


# 9 WILLFUL LIMIT 2/1


# 4 BULLY PROOF 6/1


I think HEREOSAURUS REX is a decent choice. Will most likely compete soundly in the early speed battle which bodes well with this group. Arroyo has this gelding racing well and is a decent selection based on the formidable Equibase Speed Figs posted in sprint races lately. Arroyo has a reliable 20 percent win rate with entries running at this distance and surface. WILLFUL LIMIT - He has been racing admirably recently while recording sharp Equibase Speed Figures. Recorded a solid speed rating in the last race. Can run another good one in this contest. BULLY PROOF - Must be carefully examined here on the basis of the figures in the speed section alone. Demasi has this gelding running well and is a solid selection based on the respectable Equibase speed figs posted in sprint races lately.

Presque Isle Downs - Race #6 - Post: 7:30pm - Claiming - 6.5 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $10,000 Class Rating: 81

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#4 VICTORY BRINGER (ML=5/2)
#7 EVACUATION ROUTE (ML=8/1)
#2 VICAR STREET (ML=4/1)


VICTORY BRINGER - A wise man taught me to bet on the lone speed horse. Take a look at this one. Like the way this gelding's finish positions keep getting better. That's a sure sign of improving form. Recent Equibase speed figures show powerful pattern of improvement. Have to give this gelding a chance. Ran a strong outing in the last race within the last 30 days. The 78 recent race speed fig looks good in the TrackMaster PPs. EVACUATION ROUTE - Hayes has an 'uncoupled' entry here. Best to be wary of the longer priced half. Classic angle - 3rd or 4th start after a vacation generally leads to a big effort. Going to run a good one. VICAR STREET - Faced tougher last race out at Presque Isle Downs. Based on Equibase class ratings, this is a weaker group, so I will put this animal on my list of top contenders. Every now and then I take some time off, when I come back to the track I feel refreshed. I think it's the same with this gelding as he always seems to run well after a layoff. Look for this one to go all the way to the finish line at some decent odds in today's race. Ran fifth in last race, but not more than 5 from the lead at the wire.

Vulnerable Contenders: #3 CORUNDUM (ML=9/2), #6 CHARLIE'S QUEST (ML=5/1), #5 ELUVIUM (ML=6/1),

CORUNDUM - Hasn't hit the board in any sprint races recently. Not likely to see him doing it this time out either. This gelding hasn't been showing me anything in the last two races. No early speed in this bunch to help set-up his closing kick. CHARLIE'S QUEST - This thoroughbred just hasn't looked ready recently. Won't be easy for this mount to beat this group off of that last rating. Unlikely to improve enough to run a figure close enough to today's class figure, so put him on the questionable challengers list. ELUVIUM - Didn't finish in the money on June 6th at Presque Isle Downs. Followed it up with another less than stellar effort. This gelding hasn't had any recent accomplishments in sprint races. No picnic to wager on him in this race.

Go with #4 VICTORY BRINGER on top if we're getting at least 5/2 odds

Emerald Downs - Race #7 - Post: 5:16pm - Claiming - 6.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $13,600 Class Rating: 89

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#7 IWANNABEADIVATOO (ML=7/2)
#2 MAGGIE'S SPECIAL (ML=6/1)


IWANNABEADIVATOO - I like this filly a lot here. She shows a lot of consistency, finishing in the money frequently. A horse coming back this promptly after a sharp effort is a good omen. MAGGIE'S SPECIAL - When Bowen and Gideon combine forces on horses the return on investment has been fantastic at +94.

Vulnerable Contenders: #5 SEATTLES BEST COPY (ML=5/2), #1 IF YOU LIKE IT (ML=4/1), #8 MYRNA LOU (ML=5/1),

SEATTLES BEST COPY - Hasn't been on the Emerald Downs oval in the last three weeks. Cause for some concern. This filly registered a speed figure in her last contest which likely isn't good enough in today's event. IF YOU LIKE IT - Tough for anyone who saw this horse in her last clash to bet on her this time. Finished seventh in her most recent race with a pedestrian fig. When I look at today's class rating, it would take an improved performance to score after that in this group. MYRNA LOU - Registered a run-of-the-mill rating last time around the track in a $15,000 Claiming race on Jun 24th. Unlikely to see an improved performance off of that fig.


STRAIGHT WAGERS:
#7 IWANNABEADIVATOO is going to be the play if we are getting 8/5 or better

RACE #3 - BELMONT PARK - 2:32 PM EASTERN POST


The River Memories Stakes

12.0 FURLONGS TURF FILLIES AND MARES FOUR YEARS OLD AND UPWARD STAKES $100,000.00 PURSE

#4 GUAPAZA
#2 SONGOFICEANDFIRE
#1 TROPHEE
#3 SWEAT BY IT

This race is named for one River Memories, who was bred and raced by Alan Clore. She raced in France at age two and three. After her win for trainer Robert Collet in the Grade I Rothman's International at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Canada she remained in North America, racing there through age five for new owner Peter M. Brant and trainer, D. Wayne Lukas. In 1989, after losing seventeen consecutive races, River Memories won the Grade I Flower Bowl Invitational Stakes here at, Belmont Park. Here in just the 2nd running of this stakes test, #4 GUAPAZA, a Chilean-bred entry, has hit the board in "POWER RUN FASHION" in each of her last five outings, including back-to-back "POWER RUN WINS" in her 4th and 5th races back. Jockey Javier Castellano and Trainer Chad Brown send her to the post ... they've hit the board with an impressive 60% of more than 200 entries saddled as a team to date, winning at an equally impressive, 30% clip! #2 SONGOFICEANDFIRE has turned in "POWER RUN PERFORMANCES" in each of her last four "adventures," hitting the board in three of those races. Her recent past performance sheets also show a "Circle Trip" in her 5th race back, which did not meet my criteria to be "tabbed" as a "POWER RUN WIN."

Hawthorne Harness: Sunday 7/10 Analysis
By Jeremey Day

DRF HARNESS

Race 10 - $20,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Pool

Best Bet (10 - 17 / $52.80): EXCELLERATED SPEED (3rd)

Spot Play: DINKY DUKE (10th)


Race 1

(10) ROCKINAROUNDHEAVEN well bred filly gets sent out for proven connections off a decent qualifier. (6) LACARMELILIANA looks to be pacing the fastest but has just been racing evenly. (1) PRETTYFACEUGLYWAYS freshman pacer gets the best post in a field full of question marks.

Race 2

(1) YOU'RE CRAZY filly had to need her first start and could show good improvement at a price. (4) HONESTLY well bred filly looks to be getting better; threat. (7) SNEACRET HANOVER pacing bred trotter has flashed a decent burst of speed when she minds her manners.

Race 3

(6) EXCELERATED SPEED takes a huge dropdown in competition from her last few starts at this track. (2) WEEKEND UPDATE has been close against similar and looks to offer value. (3) ANOTHER TEMPATION was sharp last week closing up good late ground from a tough spot.

Race 4

(5) CAPTAIN GREEDY last year's sophomore division winner can get back on track with a easy win against this bunch; short price. (3) POWERFUL PRINCESS just missed to a nice horse last week. (4) SARA THE SPY would normally be considered a threat at this level but has not been on her 'A' game in recent.

Race 5

In a tough race to gauge, (8) AWESUM WORLD has been better than her record indicates and will offer a nice price. (4) ICED OUT mare is 0 for the year but has been knocking on the door against better. (5) GENTLE JANET dropped and popped last week; needs more.

Race 6

(4) SURVIVOR DI trotting filly has really started to blossom in her last few efforts. (1) SOUTHERN SPECIAL four-year-old has tons of ability but rarely stays trotting. (3) RECOVERY MODE has been inconsistent this year but can hit the ticket with a good setup.

Race 7

(4) WALKER MEISTER any effort like the start three back and the pacer can score. (5) VITAL TERROR has been much better with the added lasix dead heating for the win last week. (2) ROCKIN JIMMY was also improved last week; threat.

Race 8

(2) RYLEIGH'S LILLY mare looks primed for a good effort third start off the bench. (1) FOX VALLEY CHARM four-year-old owns a big burst of speed with the best starting post. (9) SEEYOUATTHEFINISH will look to make it seven wins in thirteen starts.

Race 9

(5) LADY'S ART mare has really excelled at this track; big chance. (6) LEX pacing mare has yet to win in almost a year; command a price. (7) YOUNG AMERICAN takes a decent drop in class but needs a fast pace to close into.

Race 10

(4) DINKY DUNE four-year-old should be much closer turning for home this week. (9) SUNSET DREAMER well bred pacer set a lifetime mark last start circling the field after being shuffled. (6) FIVEKNUCKLESHUFFLE is capable with some racing luck and a good setup; versatile.

Race 11

(6) DELIGHT FASHION has been knocking on the door against better. The pacer might offer the best price of the contenders. (7) SKIM THE TOP gets sent out for a low percentage pilot but has been facing much tougher. (4) FORT SILKY might need one more start after being off for almost four months.

Race 12

(9) TOPVILLE AVATAR three-year-old owns a big closing kick with a good setup. (7) ANTS INER PANTS needed her start last week. The veteran trotting mare owns some back class and can compete with these when right. (10) JACKIE GOLDSTEIN will need some luck to find a way into the race; use underneath.

Race 13

(10) PRO SIDE picks up the top driver dropping in class. (8) RED PINE has been competitive at this level; driver's choice. (6) BOYS ROUND HERE has yet to win in twelve starts but is facing a much softer bunch.
