Belmont
Race 9
A listed stakes race to be run seven furlongs on the turf. Top choice is No. 2 Sombeyay. In observing the grass races this first week at Belmont, speed has ruled the racing. This horse likes the lead, has been racing consistently this year, and will appreciate the shorter distance. No. 4 Delaware comes to the Chad Brown barn from Europe where he’s been a winner on grass. We’ve seen this successful move many a time. No. 1 Flavius is the other Brown trainee who although ran a big sheet number in his last, got a terrible ride.
The Pick: Win/Place 2 Exacta Box 1-2-4 Trifecta Box 1-2-4-14
