TimeformUS Belmont Park Horses in Focus for Saturday, May 4, 2019

Race 1: Swiping Dan (#1)
Will appreciate the cutback in distance after essentially being eased going a mile last time.
This trainer has done well with limited stock over the past several months.
Has run his best races over wet tracks, and there is plenty of rain in the forecast.
12-1 on ML

Race 4: Lady Montdore (#1)
Appreciates some give in the ground and should encounter yielding or soft going if this race stays on the grass.
Could play out as the controlling speed in a race that does not feature any confirmed front-runners.
Performs well off layoffs, as she displayed in her win at Saint-Cloud in June 2017 and again at Saratoga last summer.
4-1 on ML

Ran well in a reasonably fast race on Oct. 26, closing to be second over this track.
Had an excuse when shuffled back in the early going in a race dominated up front on Nov. 30.
DRF Formulator Fact: Over the past five years, Jeremiah Englehart is 9 for 23 (39 percent, $3.93 ROI) with a maidens coming off layoffs of 120 to 240 days in dirt sprints.
