Beer: Belmont Park horses to watch for week of June 6
SQUEEZE
Trainer: Christophe Clement
Last race: June 2, 4th
Finish: 1st by 1
Beyer: 82
Three-year-old filly made it 2 for 2 in her career when overtaking a fast pace while in hand once coming clear and going on to finish on her own power; likely to be tried in a tougher spot next time, but she may be able to handle it.
STREET LORD
Trainer: David Jacobson
Last race: June 2, 8th
Finish: 9th by 37 1/2
Beyer: 19
Stretched out off the claim for Jacobson and was sent along into a duel on a scorching pace before stopping to a walk in the stretch; he doesn’t need the lead to run his best and can turn it around quickly at a better price in the right spot.
ALMASTY
Trainer: Brad Cox
Last race: June 5, 3rd
Finish: 2nd by 1 1/4
Beyer: 99
Improved form for this trainer in 2015 culminated in a convincing score in the Grade 3 Commonwealth with a career-best 100 Beyer, and he started back on the right foot despite being unable to contain Group 1-quality import Full Mast in the late stages of his 2016 debut.
