Long, On the Turf at Belmont for Stakes Saturday

 A very nice card for the penultimate day of the Belmont Spring meet. On this Stakes Saturday we look at a Grade one, long Turf race.

Belmont Park Race 9 {Caesars Belmont Derby Invitational~Grade 1~1 1/4 mile~TURF~3 year-old~Graded Stakes}

A wonderful field of twelve will go onto the Belmont grass. 

Past Performances used:  DRF Formulator.

There is some speed in this race though it should produce a decent pace. Only one millionaire joins this field. All look well prepped for this million dollar race. Only five have gone this distance. It should be a very excellent wagering race. The race could also be the best one of the day.

#13 Stone Age [IRE] (R. Moore / A. O'Brien) comes in from across the pond with a 100% in the money record at this distance from three starts. He cuts back in distance from his last. A son of Galileo [IRE], he is 75% in the money from eight career starts.

$1 WIN  /  $2 PLACE  /  $3 SHOW.

#10 Nation's Pride [IRE] (Detorri /Appleby) ships in after racing in Great Britain. He already has two wins from two tries at this distance. He should track the pace and strike in the stretch. A son of Teoflio [IRE], he is 83% in the money from six career starts.

$1 PLACE  /  $2 SHOW.

#9 Tiz the Bomb (D. Davis / McPeek) was last seen in the Kentucky Derby. He comes in here well rested and primed for a good effort. This guy is the sole millionaire in the field. Expect him to track and close swiftly. A son of Hit It a Bomb, he is 66% in the money from nine career starts.

$2 SHOW.

Other Wagering Interests

#3 Napoleonic War (Prat / C. Brown) shows the third highest last out speed number and three workmanlike works. He will be part of the tracker pack seeking position before the quickening. A son of War Front, he is 75% in the money from four career starts.

#8 Royal Patronage [FR] (Rosario / Johnston) comes in after racing in Great Britain. He has hit the board at this distance. Another that will be part of the trackers. A son of Wootton Basset [GB], he is 55% in the money from nine career starts.

#6 Machete [FR] (Pasquier / Chappet) comes in after racing in France. He has gone this approximate distance and should have a track and close style trip. A son of Myboycharlie [IRE], he is 50% in the money from eight career starts.
