Belmont Horse Racing Tips Sat 18/7/26
Return to racing at Belmont, and the Belmont Classic in Race 3 is the one that draws the eye. We went through the card properly though, and our best sits right at the end, $7 on Yes I Know in Race 8. Track’s a Soft 6 and racing fair, which helps the ones we’re keen on. Four we like across the eight, and the money’s in the bigger prices, not the short ones.

Forecast for Perth, Western Australia · WeatherAPI.com · captured 10:28am Sat 18 Jul
Race 1
2:51pm · 1200m · Handicap · 14 runners
1. They’Reallsisters $3.80
Barrier 14 · Midfield · No leader
Blinkers go on for the first time and that’s the hook. #1 They’Reallsisters brings a win and two seconds from her three runs before the spell, and comes back fresh. Gate 14 is the worry in a big field, but with no clear leader up front she can slot in from midfield and get her chance. At $3.80, I’m on her.
Race 2
3:31pm · 1000m · Handicap · 10 runners
5. Desert Dancing $6.00
Barrier 10 · Off Midfield · No leader
The favourite’s no good to me at $3.10. #8 Mai Aloha has been patchy, and #5 Desert Dancing gives me double the price for a horse racing more honestly. He ran third then fourth his last two, handles a soft track, and with no genuine leader here he can roll forward and sit closer than usual off gate 10. At $6, I’m happy to take him.
Race 5
5:23pm · 1650m · Handicap · 13 runners
14. Western Miss $1.85
Barrier 12 · Pace · No leader
Genuine speed is missing here, and from gate 12 with William Pike up, #14 Western Miss can bowl across and make her own luck out in front. She’s won her last two and looks to be peaking. Yes she’s short at $1.85, but in a no-leader race the one that gets to the front is the one they all have to run down. I’m with her.
Race 8Best Bet
7:01pm · 1200m · Handicap · 16 runners
5. Yes I Know $7.00
Barrier 15 · Midfield · No leader
Double the fav’s price is what gets me in. #5 Yes I Know keeps hitting the placings, Clint Johnston-Porter stays on, and the wide gate is the only knock. #13 In Confidence at $3.60 is short enough on a soft track; I’d rather take the $7 and the value. Easy.
