By Pro-Handicap 2.0 delivered three notable results at Belmont Park, highlighted by a lucrative Primary–Secondary exacta, the winner of the Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup and all three horses in the ninth-race trifecta.
Race 4: Primary–Secondary Exacta Pays $103.04
In Race 4, Pro-Handicap 2.0 selected #12 Paros as its Primary and #10 A Bourbon for Toby as its Secondary. Paros went off at 17-1, established a commanding early lead and remained clear until the final stages. A Bourbon for Toby, who was reserved near the rear, unleashed a powerful closing run and caught Paros just before the wire.
The result closely matched the report’s analysis. Track‑IQ identified Paros as the race’s controlling speed, supported by field-leading early- and middle-pace figures. A Bourbon for Toby possessed the strongest late-running profile in the field, including a 48.4% turf LP probability and LP odds near 1-1.
A Bourbon for Toby won, while Paros held second to complete the Secondary–Primary exacta. The $2 exacta returned $103.04. Quaternary selection #6 Write Off Jerry also finished fourth.
Race 5: Primary Forever Young Wins the Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup
Pro-Handicap 2.0 selected #7 Forever Young as its Primary in the Grade 1, $1 million Jockey Club Gold Cup. Track‑IQ rated Forever Young as the field’s dominant contender and identified him as possessing Strong Sustainable Pace Control, with the best E1 and E2 probabilities in the race.
Forever Young settled just behind Secondary selection #4 Phileas Fogg, advanced steadily around the far turn and took command before reaching the three-furlong pole. He then drew clear through the stretch to win decisively.
Quaternary selection #2 Stars and Stripes, identified by the Overlay Map as the field’s strongest late-pace horse, rallied to finish second. Tertiary #1 Baeza overcame a poor start to finish third, while Phileas Fogg completed the superfecta in fourth.
Pro-Handicap 2.0’s four selections therefore occupied every position in the first four:
Primary–Quaternary–Tertiary–Secondary
Most importantly, the program’s Primary selection won Belmont Park’s featured Grade 1 event.
Race 9: The Top Three Selections Sweep the Trifecta
Pro-Handicap 2.0 concluded the card by supplying all three trifecta horses in Race 9. Tertiary selection #6 Maria Callas won, Primary #1 Tuthilltown finished second and Secondary #12 Neshika finished third.
Track‑IQ projected a hot pace and warned that Quaternary selection #7 Long Legged Queen could become vulnerable if challenged early. Long Legged Queen became involved in a speed duel, briefly gained command in the stretch and then weakened.
Maria Callas benefited from the contested pace. After tracking behind the leaders, she moved four to five wide, seized command with three-sixteenths remaining and drew clear to return $8.90. Tuthilltown and Neshika both rallied from behind the pace to complete the trifecta.
The final order was:
Tertiary–Primary–Secondary
The $2 exacta paid $39.76, while the 50-cent trifecta returned $36.53.
Across these three races, Pro-Handicap 2.0 produced a $103.04 Primary–Secondary exacta, selected the winner of the Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup, placed all four selections in the stakes-race superfecta and supplied every horse in the Race 9 trifecta. Just as importantly, the official trip notes confirmed the report’s projections regarding controlling speed, finishing strength and pace vulnerability.
