Penn National
G2 Penn Mile S
1/2 103
3/4 102
Fin 108
Top 3: Hawkish 113, Way Early 108, Coltandmississippi 106
Note: Moderate to slow pace race a bit conflicting with race flow as top three finishers were running in the last three spots early; Hawkish has won three of four starts and went off the 7-5 favorite from a 5-1 morning line - bettors weren’t fooled
Belmont
G3 Pennine Ridge S
1/2 130
3/4 144
Fin 118
Top 3: Catholic Boy 124, Analyze It 122, Channel Cat 112
Note: Winner returned to turf for first time as a 3yo, previously won two of three at 2 years of age; extremely fast race from ½ mile to ¾ mile mark, would be rated 172 on the TimeformUS scale if listed incrementally

Woodbine
G2 Connaught Cup S
Top 3: Caribou Club 122, Tower of Texas 119, Conquest Panthera 119
Note: No pace figures for Woodbine turf races as all are being hand timed; top three finishers were running 5th, 8th and 6th early in an eight horse field, probably safe to treat the race as fast paced.
Churchill
G3 Aristides S
1/4 136
1/2 134
Fin 125
Top 3: Chief Cicatriz 128, Mr. Crow 113, Wilbo 110
Note: Winner has taken three of four this year, lone loss on Derby Day when pressing a fast pace over a sloppy track
