Chance It (right) wins the Mucho Macho Man in January 2020. The Smile will be his second start following a 14-month layoff.

The prospect of rain all over the East Coast and some short fields makes for a limited set of choices this Saturday, when the marquee matchup is Mystic Guide versus Happy Saver in the Suburban at Belmont.

Daily Racing Form has served as the most trusted source of news and information about the sport since 1894, and moving forward we have decided to provide a free daily playbook – something that both hardcore horseplayers and casual observers can reference to get informed of each day’s action.
