Superfecta Sunday in Gotham

On this Superfecta Sunday we take in a wonderful Turf race in the Big Apple.

Belmont Park Race 9 {Athenia~G3~1 1/16 mile~TURF~3 year-old Up~Fillies/Mares~Graded Stakes}

A great group of nine equine ladies will hit the grass in this Turf stakes. There is enough speed for an honest pace to develop giving them all a chance to bring home the purse. only three have yet to travel over the Belmont Turf. Speed figs are very, very close making it a highly competitive event. Our task is to knit together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket. It should be a great race in Gotham.

#1 Simply Breathless [GB] (Rosario / Drysdale) is the one to beat with the second highest (tie) last out speed number and three tremendous workouts. She has already notched a win at this distance. This gal is highly consistent having hit the board in her last three. A daughter of Bated Breath [GB], she is 82% in the money from seventeen starts.

#9 Xenobia [IRE] (J. Velazquez / Thomas) should be ready for the challenge earning the third highest last out speed number at a longer route and securing two sharp workouts in preparation for this race. This daughter of Falco, is 58% in the money from twelve career starts, winning four times. She should be racing close to the pace ready to strike. Our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$1 SHOW.

#2 Victorine [FR] (I. Ortiz / Clement) looks to make another improvement with the fourth highest last out speed number and two sound workouts. She loves the distance and the Belmont course. A daughter of Le Havre [IRE], she is 60% in the money from ten career starts. Expect her to close magnificently into the stretch.

#5 Candy Store [IRE] (Alvarado / Clement) should improve dramatically in her third start of the form cycle. She has done well over the Turf and distance. Her two works in the last thirty days appear to be strong ones. A daughter of Lope de Vega [IRE], she holds eight victories and a 56% in the money record from sixteen career starts. Could be part of the pace scenario holding on for a piece of the purse.
