Saturday’s all-Grade 1 stakes pick four, which begins in race 8 and concludes with the Belmont Stakes, has a guaranteed pool of $1.5 million. I’ll be playing it (among many other things on Saturday’s highly tempting card), and what follows are my thoughts on each race in this sequence.

Trainer Leslie Young saddles Meteoroid (#4, ML 15-1) in Thursday’s fifth race at Belmont Park, a 1 3/8-mile optional claimer on the inner turf. Since Jan. 1, 2014, Young is winning at a 27 percent clip in route races, for a return on investment of $3.90.
Wonder About Lola (#5, ML 4-1) returns in Thursday’s eighth race at Canterbury Park, a six-furlong allowance. It will be her first start since finishing fourth by 2 1/4 lengths on April 9 at Oaklawn Park. The second-, fifth-, and sixth-place finishers from that race came back to win their next starts.
