TimeformUS Belmont Horses in Focus for Thursday, June 6, 2019

Race 5: Blahnik (#4)
Was badly compromised by running off in a fast pace in her turf debut last summer.
Showed an affinity for this surface at Gulfstream two back.
The Pace Projector is predicting that she will be clearly in front in the early going in a race that does not feature much pace.

Race 6: Hersh (#1)
Defeated a very strong group of maidens at Saratoga last summer in what has been a productive race.
His top 109 TimeformUS Speed Figure is among the highest in this field.
Ran well when fresh in his debut last year and appears to be working well for his return.
7-2 on ML

Race 9: Crack Shot (#11)
Did not appear comfortable racing over a dirt surface in his debut last year after having been previously entered for turf.
Should appreciate the surface switch since he’s a son of Freud out of a half-sister to turf stakes winner Neck of the Moon.
DRF Formulator Fact: Over the past five years, Jeremiah Englehart is 3 for 6 (50 percent, $4.65 ROI) with maidens off 180+ day layoffs trying turf for the first time in sprints.
