Stakes Saturday Out East

A spectacular Stakes Saturday arrives.  We take a look at a couple of good ones out East.

Belmont Park Race 9 {Suburban Handicap~G2~1 1/8 mile~3 year old Up~Stakes}
A top line field of eight powerhorses are expected to make the start.  Every last one of them is capable of pulling off the victory.  Half of the field are of the speedy variety and the other half will come from off the pace.  All have posted triple digit speed numbers in their careers.  It should be a great race.

#7 To Honor and Serve (Lezcano / Mott) appears to have the edge with the highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and three robust, peaking workouts.  With a controlled pace he could easily clear this field.
$1 WIN / $2 SHOW.

#1 Stay Thirsty (Castellano / Pletcher) coupled with #1A Caixa Electronica (Castro / Pletcher) will challenge.  Stay Thirsty holds shares the highest speed number, is working a two race progression, and has put in four stellar workouts.  Caixa Electronica has the third highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two steady workouts.  Either one of these coupled entrants could win with their pressing/tracking attack.
$1 PLACE / $1 SHOW.

#3 Buffum (Maragh / Albertrani) could be the big surprise with the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and four serious workouts.  He could utilize his tracking style efficiently should the pace become torrid.  
$1 SHOW.

NO 10 CENT Superfecta Offered



Calder Race Course Race 11 {Princess Rooney Handicap~G1~6 furlongs~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Stakes}
An interesting field of eleven will enter the gate for this sprint contest.  More than half the field (six horses) are trained by Martin D. Wolfson.  It should be an exceptionally good race as all running styles are amply represented.

#9 Nicole H (C. Velasquez / Fawkes) is a slight favorite with the highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and two healthy workouts.  She could press the leaders and kick it in the closing stages of the race.
$1 WIN / $1 SHOW.

#7 Bouquet Booth (Bridgmohan / Margolis) will challenge with the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and three superb, peaking workouts.  She will also be forwardly placed ready to make her move in the stretch.
$1 PLACE / $1 SHOW.

#5 Musical Romance (Leyva / Kaplan) will also be a contender with the third highest (tie) last out speed number, a two race progression, and three tremendous, peaking workouts.  She should stay close to the pace and launch into the stretch.
$1 SHOW.

Other Wagering Interests

#3 Golden Mystery (Ferrer / Ma. Wolfson) could surprise with the second highest speed number at the distance, two good last out speed numbers, and two sturdy workouts.  She could motor on the front end seeking to hold on in the stretch.

#2 Beloveda (Saez / Ma. Wolfson) should be in the hunt sharing the second highest last out speed number, holding a four race progression, and putting in three modest workouts.  She is another that should be forwardly placed ready to move.

10 CENT Superfecta
