TimeformUS Belmont Horses in Focus for Friday, July 5, 2019

Race 6: Pallas Athene (#1)
Didn’t have much of a chance in her debut when caught behind a slow pace going a distance that is too short.
Is bred to relish added ground, since she’s out of a Galileo dam who is a full sister to a 12-furlong Group 2 winner in Europe.
John Terranova gets a 100 TimeformUS Trainer Rating when teaming up with Rajiv Maragh.

Race 7: Sky Full of Stars (#12)
Had little chance when rated towards the back of the pack behind a slow pace in the E.P. Taylor.
Used front-running tactics when she scored against Group 2 company in Germany last September and could show speed again here.
Appears to be working well for her U.S. debut and first start for Christophe Clement.

Race 8: Cookie Dough (#2)
Has earned some of the best TimeformUS Speed Figures in the race, save Sue’s Fortune’s last number.
Was cooked in the extremely fast pace that developed in the Acorn last time.
Should appreciate this turnback in distance, especially given the lack of true speed in this race.
