Litfin: Belmont horses to watch for week of Sept. 22

FUTURE SHOW
Trainer: Graham Motion
Last race: Sept. 20, 1st
Finish: 1st by 3 3/4
Beyer: 80
Followed up a runner-up finish in her debut with a powerful maiden victory in a 1 1/4-mile turf route where the second through fifth quarters were progressively faster; half-sister to two grass stakes winners and may be stakes quality, too.

MIROC
Trainer: Bobby Barbara
Last race: Sept. 20, 6th
Finish: 3rd by 2 3/4
Beyer: 67
Lightly raced gelding switched from turf to dirt for his second start of the year, stumbled at the break, and recovered to set the pace for a half-mile before tiring late and missing second in a photo.

BEN’S MIRACLE
Trainer: Jim Ryerson
Last race: Sept. 19, 5th
Finish: 5th by 7 1/2
Beyer: 49
Juvenile colt by Uncle Mo was bet to 4-1 third choice in a 12-horse field for his debut, checked at the start at a cost of several lengths, trailed a slow pace, and passed five rivals late; likely to improve with a clean getaway and a livelier tempo up front.

SEND IT IN
Trainer: Todd Pletcher
Last race: Sept. 18, 7th
Finish: 3rd by 2 1/2
Beyer: 77
Three-year-old gelding was trapped on the rail from the top of the stretch to the sixteenth pole and finished well after slipping through inside the drifting-out pacesetter in a starter allowance out of the chute.
