Thursday Features

[Kasept]

Wednesday's ATRAB features were pretty blase' with the Laurel stake coming off the grass and the Monmouth 8th coming out predictably chalky... We subsequently threw $50 into the trash in the Del Mar closing nightcap... Thursday finds 5 very good conditionals as features at Calder, Monmouth, Laurel, Arlington and Turfway...

Belmont Park kicks off the legend-making Fall Championship Meet tomorrow, and we'll cover the 33 day Stakes-fest closely, and will be visiting Big Sandy Saturday for the Gr. I trio of the 111th Gazelle, 48th Man O' War and 28th Garden City BC...

We encourage EVERYONE to consider coming to Belmont October 7 when NYRA presents Jockey Club Gold Cup Day and 5, count 'em 5, Gr. I events: The JCGC, Vosborgh, Flower Bowl, Hirsch Turf Classic and Beldame...
