Default Two Year Olds at Belmont Today
The 2nd race at Belmont today is a 2 year old race. There is a first-timer in here that can really run. His name is Ascot Hall. I saw him work at the Barrett's March sale. If he's doing as well now as he was 7 weeks ago, he will be extremely hard to beat today. He looked like a really nice horse.

The Aldebaran worked 10 1/5th with the aid of blinkers....galloped out in 21 4/5ths.

I agree that the Pletcher will probably win.

Ascot Hall is a really good colt. I don't think Pletcher's filly will be able to compete with him.

that's the filly who lost 8 lengths in the stretch after getting bumped at the start? Good luck with her at 1/2.

Nice call on the Aldebaran.

I thought the Pletcher filly was home and he came and got her.

Hard to believe that all they could scrape up for a open 2 yo race at Belmont Park is 2 NY breds, a filly, a Wesley Ward piece and 2 others.

I'm surprised he still won after breaking so bad. It's tough to win from 10 lengths behind in a 5 furlong race. He actually has plenty of speed.
