Belmont's storied Fall Championship Meet kicks off Friday, and immediately kicks into high gear with three Gr. I races Saturday. The Gazelle, Garden City and Man O'War fortell the quality of the 7 week gathering which harbinged the game's top performers for decades before the advent of the Breeders' Cup.

Friday's meet opener features a variety of tough puzzles including two tricky Maiden Specials, an impossible "non-winner since March" claimer and a state-bred nightcap ALW that could find anyone hitting the board... Here's races 4-9, but I wouldn't recommend playing the P6!
