BetAmerica’s horse racing pick of the day: June 9, Belterra Park

Weekday picks and plays for Thoroughbred racing.

Tuesday, June 9

Belterra Park, Race 1: $7,500 claiming (5 1/2 furlongs, 12:35 p.m. ET)

#1 Sister’s Creed (5-2 on the morning line) should have little difficulty rolling to victory in this $7,500 claiming race for Ohio-bred fillies and mares who have never won two races.

The daughter of Jimmy Creed placed in the Tall Stack S. at Belterra last year and crushed a $7,500 maiden claiming race at Mahoning Valley two starts back, when she won by 13 1/2 lengths, with an 85 Brisnet Speed rating that tops Tuesday’s field.

Sister’s Creed is dropping in class, out of an allowance race at Mahoning Valley, and has the speed to be competitive from the outset under hot jockey Rafael Mojica, who has gone 3-for-5 since the start of the Belterra meet.

Let’s bet Sister’s Creed to win and key her in the exacta, over #5 Canustaytonight (3-1), a runner-up over this class and distance March 18.

$25 to win on #1 Sister’s Creed
$10 exacta: 1 with 5
Total: $35

Good luck!
