We close out our horse racing weekend with two top notch mile stakes races. The Nobel Damsel at Belmont Park and the Woodbine Mile at Woodbine.
Belmont Park Race 9 {Nobel Damsel~G3~1 mile~Turf~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Stakes}
A talented group of eight gals go to the gate in this graded stakes race. Quiet Meadow (Lezcano / C. Brown) should be able to pull off the victory as the favorite with the third highest (tie) last out speed number, a three race progression, and four robust, peaking workouts. Scolara (J. Velazquez / Mott) will challenge with the second highest (tie) last out speed number, a four race progression, and two solid workouts. Sweeter Still [IRE] (C. Velasquez / Trombetta) could be the surprise with the highest speed number at the distance, a decent last out speed number, a two race progression, and four fearsome workouts. C.S. Silk (Luzzi / Romans) should be able to grab a piece of the purse pie with a decent last out speed number, a five race progression, and two bullet workouts. We will be budget conscience and play Belmont Park.

Woodbine Race 10 {Woodbine Mile~G1~1 mile~Turf~3 year old Up~Stakes}
A great cast of thirteen runners assembles for what will be an extremely competitive race. The sole Euro-invader, Famous Name [GB] (Smullen / Weld) looks favorable with a 100% in the money record over seven races at this mile distance. He will be coming off a longer route race overseas for this one. A nine time winner, he cannot be left out. Famous Name [GB] will be challenged mightly in this top notch field. Court Vision (Albarado / R. Dutrow) looks well prepped for this race with a decent last out speed number at a longer route and three high quality workouts. He also shows the highest (three-way tie) speed number at the distance. Victor's Cry (Nakatani / Harty) is another with the highest speed number at the distance. He will be closing fast with the third highest last out speed number at a much longer route and four fierce, peaking workouts. Grand Adventure (Husbands / Frostad) is the third with the highest speed number at the distance. He also shows a decent last out speed number at a longer route, a fabulous set of three workouts, and the highest speed number at Woodbine. Smokey Fire (Jones / Attard) will be the surprise moving from a seven furlong sprint to the mile. He shows the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two distance strengthening workouts. He could be in there for a piece of the purse. The Usual Q.T. (V. Espinoza / Cassidy) is a perfect five for five at the distance which will undoubtedly make him the favorite. He has posted a decent last out speed number at a longer route and two serious workouts. The Woodbine Mile will be a very competitive and exciting race. Let's play Woodbine very carefully.
$2 SHOW: #12 Famous Name [GB].
$2 SHOW: #4 Court Vision.
NO 10 CENT Superfecta is offered at Woodbine.
