A Nice Stakes Race in New York

 On this Stakes Saturday we look in on a great little Stakes race in New York. This race for young fillies has been moved off the Turf and will be run on the new Tapeta track.

Belmont Park Race 9 {Stewart Manor Stakes~6 Furlongs~Tapeta~2 year-old~Fillies~Stakes}

A reduced field of eleven will go to the gate in this featured race.

Past performances used:  Equibase.

Only two of these gals in the field have raced over an all-weather track. There is plenty of speed. The pace could boil over should all of these youngsters take to the Tapeta. Speed numbers are very close making it very competitive. Two horses from overseas join the field. It should be one of the most exciting races on a day of quality racing across the North American continent.

#4 Yuquot [FR] (Prat / Sharp) comes in after racing in France. She is exceptional at the distance. This gal exits a group two and drops a furlong in distance. She hit the board in her last. This gal has put in three workouts, one over the Tapeta, in preparation. She should be forwardly placed. A daughter or Kingman [GB], she is 66% in the money from six starts.

$2 WIN  /  $3 PLACE  /  $5 SHOW.

#6 Pink Venom [IRE] (Spencer Murtagh) comes in from Ireland and will be seeking her fourth win in a row. She should follow the pace closely. This gal has hit the board in all five of her races at the distance. A daughter of Soldiers Call [GB], she is 83% in the money from six starts.

$2 PLACE  /  $3 SHOW.

#5 Brickyard Belle (M. Franco / M. Clement) is the morning line favorite. She comes to the race with the highest last out speed number and one bullet workout.
