 On a beautiful Sunday we take in a race on the Turf at magnificent Belmont Park.

A grand field of eight will venture on to the Turf in this annual affair.

Past Performances used:  TimeFormUS

This field is jam-packed with talent and could be any of these gals race to win. Speed numbers are very close with all having gone this distance. There is enough speed to insure a swift pace. Trainers Christoph Clement and Chad Brown have multiple entrants making it a challenge to cobble together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta Box ticket. We shall try. This should be one of the best Turf races on the day.

#2 Call Me Love [GB] (Rosario / Clement) might have the edge as she exits a tougher and longer race in her last. Couple that with four solid workouts and she could carry off the hardware. She holds the highest speed number at the distance. A daughter of Sea the Stars [IRE], she is 83% in the money from twelve career starts. This filly is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.

$1 SHOW.

#1 Mitchell Road (L. Saez / Mott) comes up from Kentucky Downs to battle these ladies. She holds the second highest last out speed number and three strong workouts. This gal should show speed from the gate. A daughter of English Channel, she is 76% in the money from seventeen career starts.

#8 Tapit Today (J. Ortiz / C. Brown) will challenge as she also comes up from Kentucky Downs. This gal holds the third highest last out speed number and four hearty workouts. Watch for her to run close to the pace. A daughter of Tapit, she is 77% in the money from nine career starts.

#6 Sweet Bye and Bye (J. Lezcano / A. Dutrow) should contend with the highest last out speed number and two sound workouts. She loves the distance and the Belmont course. Look for her to be forwardly placed. A daughter of Sky Mesa, she is 82% in the money from seventeen career starts.

10 CENT Superfecta Box ($2.40)

#2 Call Me Love [GB]  +  #1 Mitchell Road  +  #8 Tapit Today  +  #6 Sweet Bye and Bye.
