Belmont: 6/28 (r5-9)
Weather continues to threaten turf racing on the East Coast making scratches a problem. In the meantime, we continue to scuffle a bit and lost the best opportunity at a big Calder trifecta score Tuesday via a scratch...
Back to Belmont Wednesday with the 6th and 9th scheduled for the lawn. Thursday, the 5th, 6th and 7th are all meant for sod sprinting, and another day of rain will destroy that afternoon as well... Better now though than during Toga!
