Litfin: Belmont Park horses to watch for week of June 8
MARBRE ROSE
Trainer: Christophe Clement
Last race: June 4, 7th
Finish: 2nd by 2 1/4
Beyer: 90
Favored at just under 2-1 for the Intercontinental Stakes, where she encountered traffic into the stretch and finished well when clear behind uncoupled mate Zindaya, who is currently at the top of her game.
TOMMY MACHO
Trainer: Todd Pletcher
Last race: June 6, 6th
Finish: 1st by 3 1/4
Beyer: 95
Coming off a sprint win over maidens in his first start following a barn change, this 3-year-old by Macho Uno handled a stretch-out to 1 1/16 miles very nicely to take a preliminary allowance in 1:40.86, considerably faster than the $150,000 Easy Goer for the same age group (1:42.14) a race earlier.
BAR OF GOLD
Trainer: John Kimmel
Last race: June 6, 7th
Finish: 6th by 10 ¾
Beyer: 72
Talented New York-bred filly shredded her rivals through three statebred conditions before suffering her first defeat in the Acorn when bothered at the start; plenty of easier assignments on the horizon.
