Play of the Day – June 24th 2021
| Play of the Day | |
| Race Date | June 24, 2021 |
| Track | Belmont Park |
| Race | 5 |
| Overview | A very deep and competitive NYB N1X with several that look the same on paper, but on that could own a decisive pace edge. |
| Pace | It looks very slow, so expect #5 THE LAST ACE (8-1) to be sent off her sprint return, especially since Jose Ortiz loves to be aggressive early and take control of a race. |
| 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 | THE LAST ACE |
| Number | 1 |
| Morning Line | (8-1) |
| Best Bet Overview | #1 THE LAST ACE (8-1) (turf only): Not only does she look like a Lone F, but she also returned from a long layoff and made her turf debut, and really improved with the surface switch, so another move forward is entirely possible. |
| Picks & Plays | WPS bet, strong EX over 3 and 7 with smaller backups underneath, and a must-use to end the early Pk5/Pk4, and kick off the late Pk5 as well. |
| Stats | 187-40-22-26 ($1.80/$5.06 ROI through 6/20) Bel Meet: 248-60-37-49 ($1.51/$4.63 ROI through 6/20) |
