Saratoga Race 13 {Belmont Stakes~G1~1 1/4 mile~3 year-old~Graded Stakes}
A nice field of nine will go the gate to battle for victory in a Triple Crown race.
Past Performances used: DRF Classic.
This is one comes up real light on speed. Speed figs are very close. Only two have competed over the Saratoga track while hitting the board. Three millionaires make the field. Five have competed at the distance. All have been well prepped for the race. It should be an exciting race.
#4 Renegade (I. Ortiz / Pletcher) is the deserved morning line favorite that should conquer the field. He holds the highest (3-way tie) last out speed number and two solid workouts. He should track the pace and kick in gear heading into the stretch. A son of Into Mischief, he is 100% in the money from six starts.
$2 WIN / $3 PLACE / $5 SHOW.
#8 Emerging Market (Prat / C. Brown) is another that will track the pace. He holds a victory at this distance and three sound workouts. It will be his first effort over the Saratoga track. A son of Candy Ride [ARG], he has a 66% win rate from three starts.
$2 PLACE / $3 SHOW.
#6 Growth Equity (M. Franco / C. Brown) will seek to grab his third win in a row as he stretches out to this distance. He holds the second highest last out speed number and two strong workouts. Look for him to run closer to the pace. A son of Nyquist, he is 100% in the money from four starts.
$2 SHOW.
Other Wagering Interests

#9 Golden Tempo (J. Ortiz / DeVaux) will need some significant pace to close into. The Kentucky Derby winner shares the highest last out speed number and three superb peaking workouts. He loves the dirt and distance. It will be his first start at Saratoga. A millionaire son of Curlin, he is 100% in the money from five starts.
#3 Chief Wallabee (J. Alvarado / W. Mott) comes in with the fourth highest last out speed number and three hearty workouts. He is another that will race among the tracker pack. A son of Constitution, he is 75% in the money from four starts.
