Trip Notes for September 26-27: Beldame, Joe Hirsch Turf, Awesome Again, and more by Michael Hammersly.
The fact that Whitney and Met Mile winner Honor Code is racing at Belmont this coming Saturday in the Kelso and not the Jockey Club Gold Cup is a huge reason the Kelso is the far more interesting race of the two. But it’s not the only reason. The prospective field for the Kelso in general is simply more compelling than the prospective field for the Gold Cup, and frankly, I find this to be messed up. The Kelso should never, under any circumstance or in any way, eclipse the Jockey Club Gold Cup, one of our truly great events.
Since we’re feeling adventurous, let’s strategize a play for Sunday’s pick five at the Big B.
Bettors probably cannot wait to double their money banging a daily double on races 7-8 on Saturday at Santa Anita, right? Wow, the $2 double from Beholder to Songbird might actually pay $4.
BreezeFigs Quick-Pix for Saturday, September 26th by Bob Fierro and Jay Kilgore.

I’ll be hoping – and betting – that Bayern forgets to stop in Saturday’s Awesome Again Stakes at Santa Anita.

Saham earned an 86 Beyer Figure last time out under unfavorable circumstances, which is why I like him in Saturday’s Jefferson Cup at Churchill Downs.
