Saratoga and Del Mar, the heart of summer racing, lie just around the corner, but the North American stakes landscape this first Saturday in July already looks very appealing.
At Belmont, Life Is Good returns to racing for the first time since a plowed field of a track surface at Meydan Racecourse compromised his chances of getting 1 1/4 miles in the Dubai World Cup. As much as I respect Speaker’s Corner and don’t think he showed close to his best in the Met Mile, he’s not beating an in-form Life Is Good.
