TimeformUS Belmont Horses in Focus for Saturday, Sept. 16, 2017
Race 5:
History Supreme (#4)
Has shown good speed in her two sprint starts and could find herself loose on the lead stretching out.
Is sired by solid turf influence Speightstown.
Her dam’s only other foal is a stakes-placed turf winner.
10-1 on ML
Race 7:
Black Tide (#10)
Set an extremely fast pace last time out in the West Point, and did well to only lose by two lengths given that the race was dominated by closers.
Seems to run his best races at a mile.
May be catching heavy favorite Annals of Time at a vulnerable point first off the layoff.
10-1 on ML
Race 8:
Battle Midway (#6)
The Pace Projector is predicting he will get a fast pace to close into.
Found 1 1/8 miles at Saratoga to be a little far for him in his last two races.
Has won three of his five starts at a mile, and seems to do best in one-turn races.
12-1 on ML
