The Grade 1, $500,000 Joe Hirsch is one of six graded stakes that will be run as part of an eight-race card Thursday at Belmont. The race includes Minaret Station, second in the Grade 1 Christophe Clement, the top-quality marathoner Far Bridge, three quality Europeans, and a pair from the powerful Chad Brown stable.
