TimeformUS Belmont Horses in Focus for Sunday, Oct. 15, 2017

Race 1:

Brimstone (#1)

Didn’t respond to rating tactics two back, and then got an uncomfortable trip through the early stages last time.

Should be close to the pace, and the Pace Projector is predicting a situation favoring runners on or near the lead.

David Jacobson gets a 90 Trainer Rating with horses going from allowance to claiming company.

7-2 on ML

Race 6:

New York Hero (#9)

Made a solid late run in his debut.

Is a half-brother to Grade 2 stakes winner Upstart.

DRF Formulator Fact: Over the past five years, Linda Rice is 35 for 89 (39 percent, $3.20 ROI) with second-time starting maidens in dirt sprints.

3-1 on ML

Race 8:

Giantinthemoonlite (#1)

Ran very well off the layoff two back, setting an honest pace before gamely battling to the wire.

Got the wrong trip last time, as he was taken too far back early and had to steady while making his run in the stretch.

The Pace Projector is predicting a situation favoring horses on or near the lead and he should be forwardly placed.

6-1 on ML
