TimeformUS Belmont Horses in Focus for Oct. 25, 2017
Race 4
Triple Dog Dare (#6)
Broke inwardly and was very green through the early stages of his debut.
Did well to get up for fifth behind a runaway winner in what appeared to be a very live maiden race.
Rudy Rodriguez gets a solid 80 Trainer Rating with horses trying a route for the first time.
8-1 on morning line
Race 6
Dancing Breeze (#11)
Kept decent company in England, placing in a few listed stakes races.
The Pace Projector is predicting a fast pace, which should benefit this filly's late kick.
DRF Formulator Fact: Over the past five years, Graham Motion is 15 for 50 (30 percent, $3.20 ROI) with foreign shippers in turf routes, getting Lasix for the first time.
8-1 on morning line
Race 8
Felini (#3)
Showed vast improvement over the summer, running fast speed figures in her last two efforts at Parx Racing.
Was involved in a taxing pace last time, and two other runners that were up close to that pace came back to record significant TimeformUS Speed Figure improvements in their next starts.
DRF Formulator Fact: Over the past five years, Kiaran McLaughlin is 6 for 24 (25 percent, $2.55 ROI) with non-maidens going from routes to dirt sprints, running back in 60 days or less.
7-2 on morning line
