Saratoga Picks for June 7:

WHEN ALL WAS SAID & RUN: It was #9 GOLDEN TEMPO ($14.00) trainer Cherie Devaux and Jose Ortiz captured the second jewel in the Triple Crown. Mr. Ed was very disappointed that #7 COMMANDMENT came up short. Congrats to all who had Golden Tempo in the Derby and now the Belmont at Saratoga. All in all, it was a quirky day at the track. Win some, lose sum. On to the final day of the Belmont Racing Festival.

SUNDAY AT SARATOGA: The final card of the festival offers Mr. Ed several opportunities to get even at the windows. First post on Sunday for the 11-race program, highlighted by the R4 Poker Stakes, is 12:05 p.m. ET/9:05 a.m. PT.

Here are Mr. Ed’s Sunday Selections at Saratoga (and good luck to all who follow Mr. Ed and VSiN).

Race 1 — $105K ALLOWANCE for NY-bred fillies and mares going 1 1/16-mile on the turf
Mr. Ed likes a pair in the first leg of DD: #2 ALL OF IT (5-2 morning line) for young trainer Miguel Clement with smokin’ hot Manny Franco riding, and #4 BOOMINGTON (9-2), trained by George Weaver with HoF jockey Johnny Velazquez on board. Today’s early bomb?
