Past The Wire TV

In this edition of the Past the Wire High Level Handicapping, Jon Stettin breaks down the Belmont Oaks using the same masterclass approach that produced last week’s winning analysis of the Stephen Foster, where we landed squarely on Magnitude while opposing Sovereignty.

This is not about picking horses based on opinions or hype. It is about understanding how races develop, separating contenders from pretenders, identifying vulnerable favorites, and building a wagering strategy around what the race is actually telling us.

Using Thoro Graph patterns, traditional past performances, pace analysis, form cycles, and proven race evaluation techniques, Jon walks through the Belmont Oaks from the ground up exactly as he approaches major races every week.

Whether you are trying to become a better handicapper or simply want to understand how professional horseplayers evaluate a race before they bet it, this show is designed to teach the process rather than just provide selections.

At the beginning of the show, Jon also gives viewers a preview of an exciting new chapter coming soon for Past the Wire.

If you enjoy serious handicapping without hype, be sure to subscribe, like the video, and turn on notifications so you never miss a new episode.

Past the Wire. Horse Racing Dissected & Delivered.
