ELMONT, N.Y. – The first week of the Belmont Park fall meet ends Sunday with a wildly competitive renewal of the $150,000 Pebbles, a one-mile turf stakes for 3-year-old fillies that drew an evenly matched field of 13. Plum Ali is one of several in this field who are cutting back in distance after chasing big money going longer distances. At 2, Plum Ali won her first three races, including the Juvenile Fillies Turf at Kentucky Downs going a mile. She also won the Grade 2 Miss Grillo going 1 1/16 miles at Belmont. “I’ve been running her further than I probably should,” trainer Christophe Clement said. “She’s a good filly, she’s back where she belongs at a mile.” With regular rider Joel Rosario at Woodbine on Sunday, Jose Ortiz rides Plum Ali from the rail. Trainer Graham Motion is taking the same philosophy with Oyster Box, who is parked on the outside in this bulky field. Oyster Box won a maiden race going six furlongs here last October and began her 3-year-old career with a one-mile allowance win at Tampa Bay Downs. Since then, she is winless in four stakes at distances from 1 1/16 to 1 1/8 miles. Most recently, she finished second to Shantisara in the Grade 3 Pucker Up Stakes at Arlington. Shantisara was scheduled to run in Saturday’s $700,000 Jockey Club Oaks at a 1 3/8 miles. :: Play Belmont with confidence: Get DRF Past Performances, Picks, Clocker Reports, and Betting Strategies. “I don’t know if she wants to go that far,” Motion said. “I felt like she didn’t have any excuse last time. She had a perfect trip, just didn’t finish up.” Runaway Rumour has already proven herself at Belmont and at a mile. She is 3 for 3 at Belmont, including an open-company stakes victory going a mile in the Wild Applause Stakes on June 26. At Saratoga, she finished fourth behind Technical Analysis in the Grade 3 Lake George at a mile, a race where trainer Jorge Abreu felt Runaway Rumour was too far back. She then finished second to that same rival in the Lake Placid at 1 1/16 miles. “I have a lot of confidence in the filly because I think the filly has a lot of talent,” Abreu said. “She had a really good breeze coming out of the race. I think she’s sitting on a good race again.” Runaway Rumour will break from post 12 under Jose Lezcano. Third Draft has not been worse than third in six starts this year and ran a solid second in the Riskaverse going a mile on Aug. 26 at Saratoga. “Every race she’s progressing,” trainer Shug McGaughey said. Trainer Mark Casse has the uncoupled entry of Our Flash Drive and Spanish Loveaffair. Trainer Chad Brown sends out Minaun, second to Runaway Rumour in the Wild Applause and fifth in the Lake George, and Nazuna, who turns back to a mile after a sixth in the Belmont Oaks going 1 1/4 miles in July. Miss Dracarys comes off a dominant allowance win at Monmouth Park. Keeper of Time was third in the Riskaverse. Lovestruck is 0 for 2 this year after going 2 for 2 last year, including a victory in the Tepin Stakes at Aqueduct. The Pebbles is the ninth of 10 races on a card that begins at 1 p.m.
