Beer: Belmont Park horses to watch for week of May 9
HAMMERS VISION
Trainer: Brian Lynch
Last race: May 7, 8
Finish: 2nd by 1 1/2
Beyer: 89
Making his first start off the layoff and his first as a 3-year-old, he was forced to contest the pace with a pair of rivals to the stretch, left them behind (they finished last and next to last), and stayed gamely only to succumb to a closing winner late. Tried stretching out to no avail last year but appears to have a future as a sprinter.
SEA CALISI
Trainer: Chad Brown
Last race: May 7, 11th
Finish: 1st by 2 1/2
Beyer: 95
Group 1-quality filly was making her stateside debut as a heavy favorite in the Sheepshead Bay and made it look like an easy game while sweeping past the field from last to first in a matter of strides before getting clear in the stretch without ever getting down to serious business.
