TimeformUS Belmont Park Horses in Focus for Sunday, July 9, 2017
Race 6:
Homewood Field (#9)
The Pace Projector is predicting that he will get a fast pace to close into.
Beat a solid field last time, including next-out winner Cerise’s Prince.
Might be better than Three Perfections, who has had his chances at this level.
3-1 on ML
Race 7:
American Gal (#3)
Should appreciate the turnback to a sprint distance.
Worked out an extremely wide trip when making a premature move in the Breeders’ Cup.
DRF Formulator Fact: Over the past five years, Simon Callaghan is 3 for 8 ($6.72 ROI) with horses returning from layoffs of 180 days or longer in dirt sprints.
9-5 on ML
Race 8:
Evidently (#6)
Got a ridiculous, wide trip two back at Tampa Bay Downs.
Was pace-compromised at Belmont last time.
Has run some of her best races at this 1 1/2-mile distance.
15-1 on ML
