Robin Sparkles wins the 2021 Mount Vernon Stakes at Belmont

Barbara D. Livingston Robin Sparkles wins an off-the-turf edition of the Mount Vernon Stakes in May.

Daily Racing Form has served as the most trusted source of news and information about the sport since 1894, and moving forward we have decided to provide a free daily playbook – something that both hardcore horseplayers and casual observers can reference to get informed of each day’s action.

12:30 BEL 1^st KAY TEE GAL (#7, 8-1) ran well in her second career start stretched out to a mile and showing speed, that while still trained by Pletcher; lone dirt starts since came over a wet, sealed track; back to dirt for the first time since being claimed by low-percentage connections. – Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race

12:45 MTH 2^nd LA LUISA (#5, 8-1) ran well on this dirt 3, 4, and 5 back so we know that she likes it here. She was buried on the rail two back and then broke 5^th while in a bounce situation. She caught the mud in her most recent which came before the layoff as if something went awry. She can fire fresh and has a slew of local works. – Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race

1:45 MTH 4^th R RAJUN BULL (#4, 5-1) likes to win in general (5 for 12) and is working well for his return. This gelding has never missed the exacta going the distance. This barn is 24% off a layoff of more than 180 days. – Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race

2:07 BEL 4^th MEDIA SENSATION (#2, 3-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Beer). | Get PPs for this race

2:17 GP 4^th I’LL FIGURE IT OUT (#2, 12-1) has the look of a sleeper after being over-matched in last pair, once against older horses in the slop, the second vs stakes company on grass. Ran big number in lone try over this surface. – Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race

2:51 GP 5^th BANKER’S HOURS (#6, 7-2) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Welsch). | Get PPs for this race

3:13 BEL 6^th PRINCESS FAWZIA (#1, 10-1) an underrated mare returning to her favorite surface – 4 of her 5 career wins have come over the Widener course, including three straight in a 19-day span last October – after being rated behind a slow pace off the claim last time; tactical from the rail and likely to be a fair price. – Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race

4:00 WO 6^th DOTTED LINE (#6, 10-1) faded to third after looking the part of a winner early in the lane last time in a seven-furlong sprint for $25k claimers. He’s moving up off the Drexler claim, a high-percentage angle, while turning back to five-eighths and could mow down all the speed under the Capable Civaci. – Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race
