TimeformUS Belmont Horses in Focus for Wednesday, Sept. 26, 2018

Race 6

Bitumen (#1)

He was hindered by a speed-favoring surface two back on Aug. 18.

Had to alter course while rallying through traffic in the stretch last time.

Should appreciate the return to Belmont Park.

6-1 on ML

Race 8

Wantagh Queen (#3)

Trainer Mike Dini has compiled a strong record with longshots on the NYRA circuit.

Ran exceptionally well to be second last time after getting spun wide around the far turn.

Finds herself in an unusually weak race for this level.

10-1 on ML

Race 9

Curlin’s New Moon (#2)

Returns to Belmont Park, where he has run two of his best races.

Ran better than it appears when overmatched in a paceless race last time.

Makes his first start as a new gelding.

4-1 on ML
