| Play of the Day | |
| Race Date | June 20, 2021 |
| Track | Belmont Park |
| Race | 2 |
| Overview | A competitive 50k starter with several who look evenly matched on paper, though one has upside and reason to move forward. |
| Pace | It looks very slow, so there a chance that #1 MONTATHAM (8-1) is sent early off his sprint return, and the fact he chased the pace when routing before the long layoff. |
| Trends | The turf has been relatively formful throughout the meet, though with hot, dry weather over the past few weeks, closers figure to be at a disadvantage. |
| Best Bet | MONTATHAM |
| Number | 1 |
| Morning Line | (8-1) |
| Best Bet Overview | #1 MONTATHAM (8-1) (turf only): Stretchout runner also maker his second start off a long layoff, and the sprint comeback was solid, and with his prior tactical speed he should be up close throughout, and figures only to improve off the return run. |
| Picks & Plays | WPS bet and a must-use in the early Pk5, and to kick off the early Pk4 as well. |
