ALBANY, Calif. - Trainer Greg Gilchrist admits to having some bittersweet pangs in the winner's circle following last weekend's Sunshine Millions victories by Wild Promises in the Filly and Mare Turf and High Resolve in the Filly and Mare Sprint. Both horses are owned by the estate of the late Harry Aleo.

"There were a lot of emotions going through me," Gilchrist said. "I wish Harry could have been there, and I wish Indyanne was back in my barn. It did feel a little strange celebrating after High Resolve's win."

A public hearing on the Metropolitan Transit Authority's proposal to shut down Long Island Rail Road service to Belmont Park - except on Belmont Stakes Day - will be held Wednesday at 6 p.m. at the New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge, 333 Adams St. in Brooklyn.
