Race 1 Seldom Seen Slim Displayed zero gate speed 1 week ago when facing tougher however at 1 Mile at the current BEL meet closers have been best which gives hope for him class dropping back into a maiden claimer; barn has strong-win marks with short returnees and sprint-to-route,   Neilos The one to catch although in 16 one-mile dirt races at BEL this meet only 3 winners scored gate-to-wire; through May 11 last-out GP runners won 19 races at the current BEL meet; projects to battle Howl for the lead; the runner-up and show finishers from last Beyered 71-66 in next-out GP-50K-BEL-20K-maiden-claiming wins.   Arch Avenger Best-last-race Beyer GP invader figures to work out an ideal stalking trip racing behind Howl and Neilos; wish he showed more of a late kick in latest while the worktab for this did not dazzle; off the bench for a 25%-winning fresh trainer since 2013; hard to leave out of the exotics.   Howl His best game has been racing in the lead; project him to be a pace presence; did not finish 1st turf with 1st blinkers however 2 races ago on dirt was an odds-on favored loss which represents a field-best Beyer speed figure; which horse shows up for this?; the hood is removed and is back in the entry box 3 days later; the 3-back winner and show finisher Beyered 94-82 in next-out AQU-allowance-MSW wins.   Classic Sense Reunites with the rider from his only dirt start where outrun throughout; hottest-BEL barn has done most of his damage with GP-last-out fresh runners like him; barn wins 26% with the MSW-to-maiden claiming angle; has been best on turf.   Jigsaw Freshened up which is his trainer's speciality as all 3 BEL winners were runners with at least 30 days away; turf-to-dirt is an 18% win play for a barn known for grass runners; the workouts for this do not inspie a lot of confidence; he will be closing which has been the profile for BEL-Mile dirt winners this meet. - Art Gropper Race 2 All Luv Me Fourth time in five career starts she must break from the rail and that experience should put her in good stead today; cooked in a speed duel in the last assignment, she needs to avoid another confrontation with key rival Pearls for Girls; betting value will be there.   Pearls for Girls Held strong for the place in her first start in more than 15 months; draws far more favorably now and she upgraded in her latest training track breeze; capable of stealing away if the first-timers are nothing special.   On a Snowy Evening Suffered through some wide trips in her winter campaign over the inner dirt; might appreciate the switch to the sprint setting and the latest pair of workouts suggests she can handle such a transition; generous odds will be the case once again.   Don't Blame Her Flashed brief speed last summer at Saratoga in a key affair; her sire won a G1 and 480K while the dam was without victory in 10 attempts; among the winning siblings is 54K earner Apparent Danger; upbeat drill at five-eighths on 4/27 to consider.   Stoneheartedlover Beginner hails from 25K winner Stonesider whose progeny are 5 for 68 as far as winning their first assignment; the dam won 2 of 19 and 147K; among the winning siblings is 19K earner My Dixie Dancer.   Sea Isle Sandy Nowhere in that first run over the turf but she is bred for the main oval; her sire is legendary statebred Say Florida Sandy who won multiple G3s and 2.08 million; the dam won 1 of 5 and 23K; sib to 192K earner Buckridge Bailey.   Saharan Serenade Failed to hit the board over either Big A surface; her sire won 3 of 20 and 1.04 million while the dam went zero for 5 in her career; this is her only foal to make it to the starting gate; can improve over this course and she does get weight concession.   Glass Zealing Beginner was sired by G3 type Here's Zealous who won 456K and whose descendants have scored in 10 out of 90 debuts; the dam won 10 of 37 and 286K; this is her only foal to make it to the starting gate; has been working at today's distance of late. - Jim Kachulis Race 3 Classic Salsa First part of the coupling draws the fence for the slight stretchout after ending his perfect record in his first spin over the local main track; colt will again catch a foe who defeated him quite handily last time but maybe the added panel helps and he certainly looked good from close up in each of his first 2 starts.   Lieutenant Seany O Barn's other half just missed when raised to this level and moved to Monmouth last week; he was a local trip winner off the break 2 starts back and he should like today's added panel; could use some pace to run at, but the barn does do nice work with its quick returnees.   Misconnect Had the misfortune of running into an extremely impressive juvenile while debuting in the Saratoga slop last summer but he quickly made up for that defeat while trying the trip here next time out and hasn't been seen since; barn knows how to bring them back ready and this guy looks to be working pretty well for his return to the races; they'll have him to beat.   Grand Arrival Gelding was impressive in the Saratoga slop second time out last summer, but he's flopped since and his most recent try behind one of these at Gulfstream was downright bad; respect the barn and they are going well at the stand, but this guy just doesn't look to have what it takes to step with these; just watching him.   Louisiana Flyboy Boasts 4 well spaced starts and he's been working pretty well here of late for his fifth; while his numbers may look a little light, he does have a right to show up faster after having spent the last 3 months on the shelf and this white hot barn certainly knows how to get them ready to fire fresh and on the turn back; contender.   Jimmy Connors Ran out of ground at the level while making just his second start of the season; expect he'll be tighter with that one behind him and today's added panel should be right up his alley; he's got some early foot and expect he'll be able to sit a nice tracking trip from the outside slot. - Steve Grabowski Race 4 Grand Strand The light finally went on; 6th finisher in last took a maiden $25K claimer and the 7th finisher beat MSW foes next out; connections would love to see him start acting like top kin Barcola, who banked over $500K; major player.   Stockholder Exchange Rate about 14% with debuters in a 443-runner grid; sire took debut at 2, took G2 Tom Fool, was 6 for 15, earned nearly $500K; stakes placed 3 for 18 dam earned over $100K; 3 of 5 siblings won including G2 winner and over $300K earner Nefertini; respect.   All My Memories Freshened since decent try in the mud; 7th finisher in last took a maiden $40K claimer and the winner repeated in a $50K LRL optional; Grade 2 winning 3 for 8 dam earned nearly $300K; can't be counted out.   Summit Moon Malibu Moon has hit with about 14% of his debuters in a 765-horse sample; sire graduated in second start at 2 at 5 furlongs on dirt for only win in 2-race career; dam was 0 for 3; 5 of 6 siblings won including SW and near $300K earner Shem; drills ideally spaced.   Shipwreck Kelly Bernstein about 11% with debuters in a 478-runner grid; sire earned about $175K, raced exclusively on grass; SW 5 for 17 dam banked $235K; all 3 siblings won including G1 placed near $180K earner Sweet Shirley Mae; nice move on the 12th.   Chiquito Pacino Freud about 11% with debuters in a 366-runner grid; sire was 2nd a half in debut at 2 at The Curragh at 6 furlongs on a yielding course, graduated there at 3 at about a mile, was Group 2 placed; G3 winning 3 for 10 dam earned about $175K; several winners in the family, none were special; lean toward watching. - Brian Mulligan Race 5 Cabo Cat Grade 3 stakes placed colt finds a favorable spot to go after a nice purse, and even though his lack of early speed might be a minor concern, it does look like he should get an honest early pace to sit off of; Maragh has won with 6 of 15 (40%) mounts for this barn in 2014.   Green Mask Sire wins with approximately 7% of his turf starters and this is the first foal from an unraced dam; he's in against a couple of good looking turf horses in his turf debut, but he has some ability to work with, and this is a top turf barn.   Otoy He might be able to show some early interest but there's noting in his form to suggest that he can threaten the top contenders in here; he looks like more of an outsider.   Mister Popsicle He was claimed for 25k just two starts back and he didn't show enough in his turf debut in his latest outing to help give him a competitive look in here; respect the presence of Ortiz, and it's a small field, but this looks like a tough test for this colt.   Chart Topper He has to be considered a main contender along with Cabo Cat and it was nice to see him ship out of Gulfstream and produce a strong run over the Keeneland turf course in his latest outing; he looks like the dominant early speed and he's eligible to prove to be tough to reel in. - Brian Pochman Race 6 Smashing Smashing indeed in the maiden victory last month when crushing her opposition; must deal with both the inside slot for the first time and the likelihood of intense pace opposition; her sire won 1 of 2 starts and 33K while the dam won 4 of 21 and 101K; winning sibs include 232K earner Holiday Runner.   What the Frost Has a perfect exacta record at this distance and her midpack style of running fits this race nicely; would benefit if a duel develops (between Smashing and Ultimate Shopper) and should be a strong late presence if able to find a clear rallying path.   My Donna Jean The mare has steadily improved this year after being shut out in all of 2013; has limited experience at seven furlongs and once again must face Very Cherry Cindy who is in top form; should offer a much better price on the board than in recent starts.   Voodoo Tales Rested since a convincing winner over the inner dirt (and over a wet-fast track, her most preferred racing surface); despite the lighter Beyers in comparison to the field, she must be considered in light of that superior workout here only 5 days ago.   Ultimate Shopper Set rapid fractions at Keeneland a month ago only to tire in the shadow of the wire; graduated in style at the course and distance last autumn and if she can run back to that performance level, she will prove very tough; latest half-mile work says she is ready to roll.   Very Cherry Candy She is a 5-time winner facing some lightly-raced, but talented, ladies here; her post position should work in her favor, enabling her to secure ideal stalking position; despite inexperience over this course, she remains one of the legit threats but might go to post as an underlay.   Miss Melinda Closed powerfully when getting away slowest of all in that second venture; reverts to Alvarado who was in the irons in that impressive initial score; see the first runner in the field for same sire information; the dam involved won 4 of 15 and 148K; among the winning sibs is 76K earner Black Snowflake.   La Madrina Looked like a pro in winning at first asking at Gulfstream; was aided by swift fractions that day and the same type of pace may unfold here if the front-runners do battle; the grey's sire won the G1 Wood Memorial and 557K; the dam lost her only race; sib to multiple G1 victor Verrazano who amassed 1.69 million. - Jim Kachulis Race 7 Pep the Champ Blinkers on is a high-win percentage angle for his trainer; the debut winner repeated in a GP-optional claimer with a 77 Beyer speed figure; late-running style fits the winning profie for 7F-BEL Widener turf winners; through May 11 not one last-out PIM runner has won at the current-BEL meet.   Captain Keon Late runner did not offer that normal big rally in latest with 1st blinkers where he raced too close to the lead off the bench; best Beyer since 2013 was a show finish on BEL Widener turf at today's distance rallying; seems set to move forward 2nd time off the bench but needs a well-timed ride.   In Speight Ofitall September, 2012, posted the field's best Beyer in a 7F-Widener turf show finish; he has been best on grass but has not raced on the lawn since November '12; the 2-back runner-up finisher Beyered 65 in a next-out BEL-50K-maiden-claiming win; the switch to grass cleary should help his form.   Downgoesfrazier Would be more concerned about racing right off the long layoff if he didn't just miss with a career-best speed figure in his 1st race of 2013; the show, 4th and 9th-place finishers from last Beyered 76-75-69 in next-out graduations.   Hard Fast Cash Sire is 12-for-116 with 1st-turf runners; is out of an unraced dam; 1 foal raced on North American turf (4-0-1-1, 7K); the winner and 7th-place finishers from last Beyered 73-71 in next-out LRL-optional claiming and AQU-40K-maiden-claiming wins.   Lane Allen Offered brief speed in the debut; sire is 25-for-233 with 1st-turf runners; is out of a 3-for-7 Group 3-winning grass dam (3-for-7, 113K) who produced 2 grass winners including 1-for-11 True Cause (161K turf); know him early but unsure about late.   Tom's Vision Sire is 1-for-12 with 1st-turf runners; is the 1st foal out of a 2-0-0-0 dam who did not race on grass; tough call after beating 1 runner in 3 starts combined; leaves New York-bred races to face tougher-open company today.   Secret Ops Sire is 9-for-127 with 1st-turf runners; 3-for-8 dam (64K) did not race on grass; 1 of 3 foals to race on turf is a lawn winner (1-for-2 turfer Enumerate 45K grass); the winner and 7th-place finishers from last Beyered 73-71 in next-out LRL-optional claiming and AQU-40K-maiden-claiming wins.   Pilatus Exits a best-last-race Beyer speed figure noting that last-out GP runners have been dominant at BEL this meet; in the first 3 races on Widener green at 7F stalkers and closers were best which fits his style; trainer shows an 0-for-22 mark with 61-180-day layoff runners but at this BEL meet she's won with a 30-day or longer fresh runner already.   Money Fan Sire is 12-for-116 with 1st-turf runners; is out of a 2-0-1-1 grass dam (27K) who produced 1 winner from 2 other foals to race but none raced on grass; exits a career-low Beyer on CD dirt hoping the switch back to grass will provide a much-needed wakeup call.   Hunter Grey Exits his best finish when stretching out his speed on dirt; adds more early zip into this event; the first 3 BEL-Widener 7F turf races were all won by off-the-pace types which he isn't; the 2-back winner repeated in an AQU-16K claimer with a 66 Beyer.   More Than Likely Sire is 72-for-535 with 1st-turf runners; 87-for-702 with 1st-time starters; is out of a SW dam (4-for-22, 182K) who won 1-of-3 on turf (21K) producing 10 winners from 10 other foals to race; 5 of 9 foals are turf winners including 92K-grasser Sway (3-for-9).   Rico Rolando Back on grass which has been his surface chasing the debut runner-up finisher who Beyered 84 in a next-out GP-MSW win; not a good sign that he finished last with a career-low Beyer 1st off the claim; 2 last-out KEE winners have scored at the current-BEL meet.   Morse Sire is 29-for-321 with 1st-turf runners; 63-for-476 with 1st-time starters; 1-for-6 dam (33K) did not race on grass; her only other foal to race You're My Buddy is 2-for-18 (51K) who finished 2nd in his only grass start; trainer Contessa has already won with a 1ster at the current meet.   Sir Maurice The runner-up finisher from last Beyered 64 in a next-out BEL-40K-maiden-claiming win; have mixed reviews from his 2 grass losses; listed at 20-1 morning-line odds as an also eligible Thursday May 15 BEL 9 a MSW race at 1M and 16th on WIdener turf.   Vona Main Track Only entry disappointed as the betting favorite for the 3rd staight start; the latest was with front wraps on for the 1st time while dropped into a maiden claimer for the 1st time; best game is gate speed so hopes to get loose on the lead if in. - Art Gropper Race 8 John's Island Earned a big number on the front end in the maiden breaker when going for the first time under this outfit's care; gelding draws inside for his first with winners and there is a little other early foot in here so he's probably going to need to be used a little harder from the fence today, but the field's highest last out Beyer earner figures dangerous right back; contender.   Wild Finish Four year old ran well over the inner track last year, but hasn't had much of an impact since returning at the level this year; maybe he's set for a better try third time back from the year layoff and he did run into a slew of next out winners last time, but he's got some moving forward to do in order to factor here.   Native Hero He's trying better after being given a little time off a weak try in his first with older; gelding wasn't bad in his last couple of tries over the inner and he'll retain the services of a top pilot, but don't know that he's good enough to step with these; passing on him today.   Escape to the Moon Got used in pace in each of his last 2 longer one turn trips and had little to offer in the drive; cut back to this distance should help as some of his better efforts have come sprinting and maybe he has a little more to offer in the lane today; consider.   Noble Cornerstone He started his career in fine fashion by crushing restricted runners at a slightly shorter trip across town last fall; gelding's subsequent stakes effort in Oklahoma was quite good, but he didn't return to run so well as a sophomore and now he'll change hands; gelding boasts some sharp recent drills and he'll get a solid pilot for his first crack over the local main track; expecting he'll get back on track against a bunch of his friends today; one to beat.   One More Chief Goes first time since faltering from a wide spot at this level at Saratoga last summer; 4 year old ran well as a newcomer so maybe he's the kind that doesn't need to be raced into shape and he does get the services of a solid pilot for this one; price should be right as he returns for a barn that scored with its lone starter at the stand.   Brass Pear Gelding brings plenty of speed to the table while giving the level another shot off the fade at a slightly shorter trip in his Aqueduct finale; expect he'll again be prominent from the bell and maybe that helps in here, but note that he's yet to hit the board in 4 career spins over the local main track.   No Its Not Took him 13 tries to get through the maiden ranks and number he earned in that Parx heat wasn't bad; he'll get a top pilot for his first local start but he catches a better bunch in his first with winners and don't know that he'll be up to threatening them today.   Last Run Goes turf to dirt in his second start of the year for a low profile outfit; his return to the races wasn't terrible considering the post he started from and he ran well to end last season at Finger Lakes but the numbers he earned in those weren't good enough to win this; he'll need to improve quite a bit. - Steve Grabowski Race 10 Lion D N A The winner of this race last year, Sweet Shirley Mae, was coming off a win in a $62.5K optional before wiring the field with an 81 Beyer; mare has been a super claim but this race is a far cry from dominating on the inner strip; she has the zip to flee the fence but would expect stablemate to have rabbit duties; needs very best.   Merry Meadow Over 3 times as many slices as wins makes her a tough on top only ticket; not disgraced in last and the place horse last time cashed next out in a $100K stakes and than took the Grade 2 Distaff with a 99 Beyer; best of 46 bullet in the holster; must hustle.   Mama Zee Nearly 3 clear in last as she makes her stakes debut; 3/6 winner repeated in a $16K starter, then ran third at that level; versatility could be her best asset; she can race close up or come from left field; she ran too good to lose in last; just not thrilled with the local record.   Kauai Katie Maybe she just needed the last effort; best when sent along, but can can sit second if need be and get it done; she exited the live race the last time in town, has repeated beaten tougher Graded foes and she was inching toward the winner in last; the one to beat.   Five Star Momma Proven locally but against much softer; best when sent along but there are others with designs on the top; bullets all over the work tab; slight improvement and he will be right here when the smoke clears.   Jane of All Trades Miss seems ambitiously placed; she only beat 2 runners in the March opener; and she got away with a soft pace that day; she has had no success in the stakes and this is the toughest assignment yet; hard to boost today. - Brian Mulligan Race 11 Ziptronic He was ready to roll when returned from a layoff at about this time last year, and judging from his recent workouts, he appears to be well meant in his first start of 2014; an alert break from the rail post is a must, but going to look for him to be involved in the running throughout.   In the Beat He enters this race off of one of the sharper performances of his career and this doesn't look like a bad spot to give him another chance to see what he can do racing over turf; winner from latest won next out at Mth on 5/11 going 6f vs. 20k OPC's with an 88 Beyer.   Tummel He's been better racing over dirt and synthetic surfaces than turf and it's not encouraging to see that his recent form hasn't been his best; runner up from latest won next out here on 5/9 going 6f vs. N1X alw. rivals with a 90 Beyer.   Isn'tlovejustgrand He's run some nice races over this turf course, and if he can regain some of the better form that he displayed in 2013, he can make some noise in this spot; winner from latest won next out at Aqu on 3/8 going 6f vs. 20k claimers with a 74 Beyer.   Torment Not only is there a long layoff in play, but his lack of early speed is a concern as he gets ready to make his first start sprinting in quite some time; perhaps his connections are using this race as a conditioner for a longer event the next time around.   Animal Style Maybe the 40k price tag on this stakes winning colt is a negative to consider, but his connections have had a nice run with him since claiming him for 30k, and a win and a claim here is a nice payday; winner from latest won next out at CD on 5/2 going 5f over turf in a G3 with a 99 Beyer.   Regulus Sire wins with approximately 13% of his turf starters and multiple G1 winning dam won 9 of 22 starts for $1.5 million, including 0-for-1 over turf; a little concerned by the back-to-back sub par performances prior to this, and this is his first turf test, but he has run some nice races in his career.   Take Down Two There's some respectable dirt form lined up in this event and this can prove to be a tough step up in class for this 17-time winner while making his first start for a new barn after a claim; he'll have to improve over his recent form to get the job done.   Metaurus Flatter has been a below average influence as a turf sire, and this gelding has been so-so at best in his two turf starts prior to this; note that he's winless in his last 23 starts going back through 2013.   Luigi P Tough to ignore that he's 0-for-23 over the Belmont Park turf and he's won just two of 40 turf starts in his career; he brings some early speed with him and he's been in good form lately, but a minor award appears to be the ceiling.   Head Heart Hoof Maybe this Grade 3 winner has seen faster days, but he's only two races removed from a solid start and now he's making his first start for the Jacobson barn after a 30k claim; runner up from latest won next out at Aqu on 3/8 going 6f vs. 30k OPC's with an 84 Beyer.   Slamarama Can't ignore the direction his form has headed in since being claimed away from the Pletcher barn, but his form sprinting over turf has been decent, and maybe the time off did him some good; third-place finisher from latest won next out at Aqu on 12/13 going 6f vs. 20k OPC's with a 93 Beyer. - Brian Pochman
