DRF Plus closer looks for Belmont Park on Sunday, June 22.
Saturday’s races at Churchill are highlighted by a pair of stakes: the $100,000 Debutante for 2-year-old fillies at six furlongs and the $65,000 Roxelana for older fillies and mares at the same distance.
Sunday’s Santa Anita Juvenile (for 2-year-old males at 5 1/2 furlongs) and Landaluce (for 2-year-old fillies at 5 1/2 furlongs) take some impressive maidens and promising firsters and put them right into the fire.
The $100,000 Wild Applause Stakes kicks off the $300,000-guaranteed late pick four, and I’m interested in two of the sophomore fillies.

The 5 1/2-furlong races at this meet have been thoroughly dominated by speed, with 18 of the first 21 winners at this trip having been within a length of the lead after the first quarter. So, as you look at Saturday’s opener, the lone race on the card at 5 1/2 furlongs, the focus had best be on tactical speed.
