TimeformUS Belmont Horses in Focus for Friday, Sept. 27, 2019

Race 2: Bucked Tooth (#2)

The Pace Projector is predicting that he will be on the lead in a "no speed" situation, yet this horse is a front-runner who can take advantage.

Throw out his turf performance last time since that’s just not his preferred surface.

Gets a positive rider switch to Kendrick Carmouche, who can nurse him along on the front end.

Race 5: King’s Honor (#6)

Is coming out of a race that may be stronger than the final time indicates.

Has a pedigree that suggests shorter distances may be in his wheelhouse.

DRF Formulator Fact: Over the past five years, Jonathan Thomas is 12 for 24 (50%, $3.90 ROI) with maiden second-time starters on the turf.

7-2 on ML

Race 7: Miss Mystique (#2)

Is likely to make the front here as long as she breaks cleanly, something she didn’t do two back.

Kendrick Carmouche has ridden her well, since he’s made use of her early speed.

Defeated the likely favorite, Mentality, going this distance last November.
