TimeformUS Belmont Horses in Focus for Saturday, October 12, 2019
Race 6: Power Up Paynter (#8)
Paynter is a decent turf influence and this colt has been intended for grass from the start.
Ran better than it seems in his debut, rushing up while racing in the bridle before abruptly tiring.
DRF Formulator Fact: Over the past five years, Linda Rice is 7 for 27 (26%, $2.64 ROI) with second- time starting maidens going from dirt to turf.

Race 7: Fear No Evil (#3)
Encountered significant trouble when attempting to rally through traffic last time.
Has run some of her best races going this six-furlong distance.
Gets a positive rider switch to Joel Rosario, who should be a perfect fit for her running style.
8-1 on ML
Race 9: Olendon (#2)
It’s hard to make an excuse for her Belmont Oaks, but it’s the only truly poor race she’s run this season.
Had a significant excuse in the Saratoga Oaks last time when she got rank with blinkers on.
Has continued to train well into this race, and Chad Brown doesn’t set his sights much lower.
