Belmont at the Big A | Race 6 | Post Time 3:51 p.m. (ET)
The expected scratch of Outfielder (#1) significantly alters the complexion of this Futurity, since it takes out the likely favorite as well as a key pace player.
Four weeks out from Breeders’ Cup and the hotline for phoning in clues rings off the wall. Wednesday in Japan, Forever Young showed us he’s still out there. The Coolmore Turf Mile on Saturday at Keeneland reveals key players for the BC Mile. Saturday 2-year-old racing in California, Kentucky, and New York will seriously sort the Juvenile and Juvenile Fillies. Lots to consider – including these three races.
