Race 1. Wide open two year old maiden race. Win with Pride was a $450K purchase and has the top connections of Pletcher/Velasquez. Big Handsome has a series of bullet works and may be the speed here. Tale of Silence has one start where he showed good speed after getting bumped at the break. Could be a threat with a clean trip.  Primary 5-1-4

Race 2.  Lots of changes for That Makes Sense since his last at SAR He’s been gelded, switched trainers to Carlos Martin and adds blinkers today. Cuts back in distance and has a speedy 4F workout in prep for this. Howie’s Tiz has two seconds in five starts at BEL and has been knocking around at the NW2L level for a while. Tepid second choice. Glennevan goes first time with winners off a sharp maiden win. DJ seems to have turned him around. Primary 8-7-5  Secondary (4, 9)

Race 3.  Another open affair. Speith closed very well after steadying at the start. McLaughlin is strong with second start maidens. Mo Town has a strong second and a series of nice workouts . Was well backed as a favorite first time out and has the top last race figure. Your Secret’s Safe finished behind the second choice last out but Chad Brown is a stout 26% with second time maidens.  Primary 5-4-6  Secondary (2, 3)

Race 4. This race looks like the West Point all over again, except at another sixteenth of a mile. King Kreesa and Kharafa have both successfully negotiated the distance and they finished within a nose of each other last time. Offering Plan and Tapitation were within half a length of the top two last out, but neither shows a success at the distance. However, they both like the BEL turf.  Hard to settle on any other horse.  Primary 3-4-5-6

Race 5.  I think you could make a case for any horse in this race. Hammers Vision raced well in the Better Talk Now in his latest and was within a length in the G3 Pennine Ridge. Figures look strong and Johnny V stays for the ride. Cadeyrn finally broke through at the NW1X level and steps up to the NW2X level. I like how he’s run with the change to Saez. Story to Tell has been in the money in five of his last six races and Irad Ortiz gets back in the saddle.  Primary 3-6-5  Secondary (1, 2, 4)

Race 6. Euros to Dollars ran two good races at SAR on the turf and looks to transfer that form to BEL. Looks like the one to catch. Mambo at the Gym adds blinkers today after being claimed last out by Mike Maker. Seems to have trouble cracking the winners circle but lately has been consistent in the money. Altar Boy looks better suited to the 7F distance of today’s race after running evenly in the middle of the pack last out. Last win was at this distance on this track.  Primary 1-3-9  Secondary (7, 8)

Race 7. Zennor is 2 of 2 in the money at BEL and gets a much better post position today. Only his third start of 2016  and should be looked to steal the race up front. Tizzarunner has been racing with much better lately and should be one of the ones coming in the stretch. Sadler’s Joy just broke his maiden at a long distance and is beautifully bred for these long affairs. May need to be a little closer if he expects to use his late speed effectively.  Primary 1-5-9  Secondary (2, 4, 7, 10)

Race 8.  The edition of the Nobel Damsel brings together a fair field of fillies and mares. Mrs McDougal has been running a steady diet of Graded races including decent runs in the Diana and the Just A Game. Should find this group more to her liking. Stormy Victoria has been running well in lesser stakes since coming to North America. Big figure in her last and if she duplicates it she’ll be the danger. Bureau de Change has been knocking with Graded types all year with only modest success but catches a fair group today. At 10-1 ML she is worth a look.  Primary 5-7-2  Secondary (6, 8)

Race 9.  Wireless Future was running in graded races earlier this year and has been claimed out of him last two when dropped to $40K. has shown decent speed in routes and cuts back to 6F today. Lots of positives including a drop in price and a switch to Lezcano. Speeding Comet is another making a substantial drop in price. He’s 7 of 8 in the money at BEL and should be in a nice pressing spot. Rapscallion is another that likes the BEL turf. Last time he was at this level he was a winner.  Primary 8-5-1  Secondary (7, 9)

Race 10.  This race is wide open as far as I am concerned. Palladian Bridge is making her third lifetime start. She dropped to this level lat out and ran an improved race. Takes the blinkers off today. Sea Pebble has eight starts and four place finishes. Looks to be solid in the verticals. Flying K C just missed when dropped to the sprint distance last time. She’s another that has a lot of in the money finishes but won’t seem to win. Perhaps her last showed an interest in winning.  Primary 2-6-11  Secondary (7)
