With the Kentucky Derby one week away, on this Stakes Saturday we look to New York to get a fix of Turf before the big weekend.
Belmont Park Race 9 {Elusive Quality Stakes~7 Furlongs~TURF~4 year-old Up~Stakes}
A great field of ten will roll to the gate in this featured Turf sprint stakes.
Past Performances used: Equibase.
There is enough speed to get a good launch from the gate. Speed numbers are fairly close. Only one millionaire, Snapper Sinclair, is in the field. Most have already traveled over the Belmont course. It should be a fantastic race as the Belmont Park meet gears up.
#6 Value Proposition [GB] (M. Franco / C. Brown) appears to be the one to beat with the fourth highest last out speed number and two sound workouts. This lad will track the pace closely and spring into the stretch. He loves the surface, distance and course. A son of Dansili [GB], he is 80% in the money from fifteen starts.
$1 WIN / $2 PLACE / $3 SHOW.
#10 American Monarch (J. Lezcano / Mott) should challenge with the second highest last out speed number and two solid workouts. This guy will also track the pace closely and make his move in the stretch run. This will be his first run over the Belmont course. A son of American Pharoah, he is 75% in the money from eight career starts.
$1 PLACE / $2 SHOW.
#11 Therapist (Rosario / Clement) has already achieved three victories at this distance. He comes in with a very strong last out speed number at a mile distance and two hearty peaking workouts. Look for him to track and close gallantly. A son of Freud, he is 62% in the money from twenty-nine career starts.
$2 SHOW.
#9 Milton the Monster (Pennington / Jo. Servis) will make his first run over the turf with the highest last out speed number and two stellar workouts. He too will make his first run over the Belmont course. Look for him to be among the pack tracking the pace closely. A son of Jack Milton, he is 78% in the money from fourteen career starts.
$1 SHOW.
