Furlong Friday at Belmont Park

On to the Turf we go. For this Furlong Friday we take in a nice Turf Sprint at beautiful Belmont Park.

Belmont Park Race 9 {Sir Cat Stakes~6 Furlongs~3 year-old~Stakes}

A fine group of seven Turf sprinters will hit the grass in this feature stakes race. There is plenty of speed to get this one off to ripping start. Speed numbers are very close making it a competitive one. It should be a smashing race.

#5 Turned Aside (J. Lezcano / L. Rice) is coming off an extended layoff with the second highest last out speed number among this group and two bullet workouts. This guy loves the distance and the Belmont course. A son of American Pharoah, he should be forwardly placed near the leaders.
$2 WIN  /  $3 SHOW.

#2 Jack and Noah [FR] (J. Velazquez / M. Casse) should challenge with the highest (tie) last out speed number and one solid workout. This guy has already notched two wins at this distance from three tries. A son of Bated Breath [GB], he should be the speed of the field.

#7 Chimney Rock (J. Ortiz / Maker) will contend with the highest last out speed number and two sound workouts. This guy is sitting as the favorite at this writing. He is 78% in the money from nine career starts. It is his first start at this distance. A son of Artie Schiller, he should be forwardly placed.

#8 So Street (McCarthy / Ness) should be in the mix with a 100% in the money record over the Turf from four starts. He comes in fresh off an extended layoff with two superb peaking workouts. This son of Street Magician, should be forwardly placed with a 72% in the money record from seven career starts.
