Superfecta Sunday at Belmont

On this Superfecta Sunday we take in a great Turf sprint at beautiful Belmont Park.

Belmont Park Race 6 {7 Furlongs~TURF~3 year-old Up~Allowance}

A high quality field of twelve will take to the green in this allowance feature. There is some speed to produce comfortable fractions. Speed figs are fairly close which should indicate significant competitiveness. All appear to be starting fresh with the vast majority of the field having short to extended layoffs. Our task is to string together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket. It should the most exciting race on the day.

#10 Dowse's Beach (J. Ortiz / Clement) might be favored coming off an extended layoff. He shows the third highest last out speed number and three sound workouts. He should be forwardly placed allowing him first strike capability. He excels at the distance and over the Belmont Turf.

#2 Tombelaine (Castellano / C. Brown) will challenge with the second highest last out speed number at a slightly longer Turf sprint down at Gulfstream Park, and three workmanlike works. He should track the pace closely ready to spring into the stretch run.

#8 Glorious Empire [IRE] (Graham / Morely) comes in from Fairgrounds where he earned a couple of excellent last out speed numbers and has put in three strong peaking workouts during a brief freshening period. With the right pace, this lad will be closing swiftly. He is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.

$3 SHOW.

#4 Chiltern Street (Rosario / W. Ward) should contend with the highest speed number at the distance and three tremendous workouts. This guy should be part of the pace makers on the front end. He also shows the highest speed fig over the Belmont Turf course.

Gulfstream Park Race 13 {Fountain of Youth~G2~1 1/16 mile~3 year-old~Graded Stakes}

An extremely capable field of ten will go to the gate in this annual Kentucky Derby prep race. There is enough speed in here to carry this crew through fast fractions.

#6 Practical Joke (J. Ortiz / C. Brown) is coming in from a modest freshening. He holds the fourth highest last out speed number, a four race progression, and four significant works.

#8 Irish War Cry (Rosario / Motion) should go off as the favorite with the highest speed number at the distance secured in his last race. He holds a three race progression and one stout workout.
