OZONE PARK, N.Y. – The winners of the last three races in which Alogon has run are all top-class turf sprinters. That Ag Bullet, Bring Theband Home, and Doncho don’t appear in the entries of Saturday’s Grade 3, $200,000 Belmont Turf Sprint Stakes at Aqueduct makes Alogon an attractive proposition in the six-furlong race. The caveat is that Alogon is coming back three weeks after running a fast race in which he came up a neck short to Doncho in the $150,000 Da Hoss at Colonial Downs. Ned Allard, the veteran trainer of Alogon, does not seem concerned. “He’s had plenty of time in between all his races,” Allard said, referring to his 2025 schedule. “He’s sharp as a tack and feels great, so I have no problem doing it. Normally, I like to give them a month or five weeks off in between, but I don’t believe we’re coming back too quick, and this is not going to be any issue at all.” Alogon capped his 2024 season by dead-heating for the win with Works For Me in the Aqueduct Turf Sprint Championship last November. He is winless in four starts this year, but his races were solid. He was beaten a length by My Boy Prince the Elusive Quality here in May before finishing third, two lengths behind the mare Ag Bullet, in the Grade 1 Jaipur at Saratoga. :: Access the most trusted data and information in horse racing!

Ag Bullet and Bring Theband Home are likely bound for the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint. In the Da Hoss, Alogon was making a late run at the loose-on-the-lead Doncho, who was coming off a course-record performance in an allowance at Ellis Park in his previous start. “He ran super. Another jump, he wins,” Allard said of Alogon. Senbei won the Belmont Turf Sprint in 2024, beating Alogon by 1 3/4 lengths. Senbei is 1 for 5 since, the win coming in front-running fashion in the Ashley T. Cole for New York-breds. Senbei finished a nose behind Alogon when fifth in the Troy. Miguel Clement, Senbei’s trainer, said he likes the six furlongs of this race compared to the 5 1/2-furlong distance of the Troy. Clement was hoping Thursday’s rain didn’t dramatically impact Aqueduct’s firm turf courses. “He’s sitting on a big one, but the firmer, the better,” Clement said. Twenty Six Black finished second in the Troy and came back to win the Disco Partner, earning a 100 Beyer Speed Figure in each race. This will be his third race in eight weeks. Bold Journey finished second in the Ashley T. Cole and Disco Partner. Run Curtis Run, third in the Cole, came back to win an allowance. Dancing Buck, the 2022 Belmont Turf Sprint winner, and Live High Live Low complete the field. Gallant Bloom R Disaster is less than a length away from being a three-time graded stakes winner. Still, she enters Sunday’s Grade 2, $250,000 Gallant Bloom Stakes in search of her first such victory. In three graded tries, R Disaster was beaten a neck in both the Hurricane Bertie and Vagrancy. Two starts back, she fell a half-length short of Halina’s Forte in the Grade 2 Honorable Miss at Saratoga. She came back a month later to win a high-class allowance, her sixth victory from 11 career starts. She has five seconds. :: Get the Inside Track with the FREE DRF Morning Line Email Newsletter.

In the Gallant Bloom, R Disaster has speed and the rail, so she figures to be on the lead Saturday under Jose Ortiz. “She’s a filly that doesn’t have to lead, but most of the time she just leads because she’s naturally that fast,” trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. said. “She’s drawn [post] one. You would hope she breaks well, and if she breaks well, she should put herself on the lead.” Joseph also sends out Street View, a private purchase by Miller Racing from trainer Steve Schauer. Joseph said she will most likely try to come from off the pace. Senza Parole, an eye-catching debut winner 13 months ago at Saratoga, returned from a year layoff and ran second in a first-level allowance at Aqueduct. She raced on the lead that day and was caught late by longshot Roswell. “I didn’t like the trip at all,” trainer Chad Brown said. “She had a beautiful outside post and she ended up on the rail – I don’t know how – and got hooked off the layoff. It wasn’t what I wanted, but she got a lot out of it and she’s training well.” The New York-bred millionaire Sterling Silver will run in the Gallant Bloom for a fourth consecutive year. She finished third in 2022 and 2024 and was disqualified from a win and placed second in 2023. Sterling Silver most recently finished fourth in a turf stakes. Patricia Ann, Scalable, and All Class complete the field. Sunday Girl was expected to run in Saturday’s $150,000 Endine Stakes at Delaware Park. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
