Breeders’ Cup Preview Day at Belmont Park, and aptly named. Four Grade 1 races on the 11-race card, and here is a look at some of the intriguing options:

Race 3 — The Miss Grillo
Spring Mambo (15-1) didn’t run badly at all when trying one mile on turf in her debut, and could be a big late threat (more…)

All year long, we have been treated to brilliant performances from the 3-year-old division. Street Sense, Curlin, Rags to Riches. Hard Spun was impressive in the King’s Bishop. Even Nobiz Like Shobiz has enjoyed success on turf.

Big day at Belmont Park today with the much-anticipated debut of The Green Monkey and the much-anticipated return of Rags to Riches.

So after crashing on Labor Day night, my system is starting to return to normal following six weeks of non-stop, frantic action.

Belmont opens on on Friday, and while entries were drawn on Wednesday, let’s first take a few peeks back at the Spa season.

HORSE OF THE MEET — Street Sense will certainly garner support here (more…)
