TimeformUS handicapper David Aragona highlights some contenders on Friday’s card at Belmont.
Horseplayers who didn't get enough turf-racing action at the Kentucky Downs meeting that concluded Thursday have a unique opportunity Saturday between Belmont Park and Woodbine, which are teaming up for an all-turf pick-five sequence that can be played in 20-cent denominations.
There are stakes-packed cards Saturday at Woodbine, where the main event is the Grade 1, $800,000 Woodbine Mile; Laurel, where that track's Fall Festival of Racing program has seven stakes led by the Grade 3, $250,000 Frank J. De Francis Memorial Dash; and Churchill Downs, where the headliners are the Grade 2, $200,000 Pocahontas and the Grade 3, $150,000 Iroquois, two route stakes for 2-year-olds. Also, Belmont offers the Grade 2, $400,000 Sands Point Stakes.

Trip notes by Michael Hammersly for stakes races run on September 9-10, including the Kentucky Turf Cup.
The mutuel field, the No. 14 or “all others” option, was the winner as a lukewarm 5-2 favorite in the novel Jockey7 Wager yesterday, but at least a couple of individuals have a very strong lineup of Sunday mounts, and I’ll be leaning on both of them to earn the most points today.
