Normally a Saturday full of stakes races, on this Saturday we have a calmness settling over the North American horse racing world. Today we look at a nice Optional Claimer at Belmont Park in an attempt to tune up before the BIG race next Saturday.
Belmont Park Race 7 {6 furlongs~3 year old~fillies~Optional Claiming}
A tidy field of eight will go to the gate. Half the field is speedsters and the other half will be close to the pace. It could be a very thrilling race.
#4 McCarren Park (Dominguez / Asmussen) appears well prepped to take this one with the third highest last out speed number and two vigorous, peaking workouts. She could settle right off the pace ready to strike nearing the stretch.
$1 WIN / $2 SHOW.
#2 Smokin' Alice (C. Velasquez / Rodriguez) will challenge with the highest speed number at the distance. She is coming off a seven furlong sprint and has put in one solid workout. She is another that will sit off the pace ready to make her move.
$1 PLACE / $1 SHOW.
#6 Union Victory (Cohen / Levine) should show speed in the forwardly placed group with the fourth highest last out speed number, the third highest speed number at the distance, and one stout workout. She should hold on for a piece of the purse.
$1 SHOW.
Another Wagering Interest
#1 Sheza Classy Lady (Castellano / Levine) could out-class this group with the second highest last out speed number and a two race progression. She should be forwardly placed ready to roll.
10 CENT Superfecta
#4 McCarren Park / #2 Smokin' Alice / #6 Union Victory / #1 Sheza Classy Lady.
