Merry Meadow among 11 entered in Bed o' Roses

A month ago, the New York racing office struggled to get six horses to enter the Grade 3 Vagrancy Handicap, and only four started.

There was no such dearth of entries for Saturday’s Grade 3, $150,000 Bed o’ Roses Handicap at Belmont Park, which drew a field of 11 fillies and mares.

The co-highweights at 118 pounds are Merry Meadow, who won the Vagrancy at 6-1, and Street Girl, the runner-up in the Grade 1 Humana Distaff at 21-1. Merry Meadow, who will be ridden by Rajiv Maragh, drew post 8, while Street Girl, with Jose Lezcano up, will break from post 10.

Lion D N A scratched from the Vagrancy because she won the Skipat Stakes the day before at Pimlico. That was her third stakes win this year, all of them coming at six furlongs. On Saturday, she will break from post 11 in the seven-furlong Bed o’ Roses.

Also entered are Table Three Ten, Five Star Momma, Flattering Bea, Ultimate Shopper, Hot Stones, Ode to Sami, Calistoga, and Classic Point.
