It is kind of funny that Tweedside has a race named after her. I went back and looked at her record at Belmont.
1st start - Career debut. No lasix. Finished last beaten 20 lengths going 7f for Pletcher.
2nd start - Won the Sands Point -- race was rained off the turf. Beat 3 other rivals. Tommy Turner rode even money favorite Platinum Tiara.
3rd start - Won Coaching Club American Oaks by 7+ lengths at 10/1 odds. Chris McCarron fell off of the 4-to-5 favorite Starrer at the start. Everyone else couldn't get the 12 furlongs.
4th start - Tweedside makes her Belmont Park turf debut in the Flower Bowl. She did not finish the race at odds of 31/1. "Tired, eased in stretch" Laline, England's Legend, and Starine 1-2-3 in a strong edition.
5th start - Tweedside wins the Sheepshead Bay by a nose. Sweetest Thing and Golden Corona beaten a nose in 3-way photo finish for the win.
6th and final start at BEL - Tweedside 5th of 7 in the New York Handicap. She was 4/1. The highweight in the race was the Darrel Vienna trained Janet -- who was shipping in off of a 2nd place finish at Bay Meadows in the Yerba Buena.
Tweedside was 3-2-0-0 on the BEL dirt and 3-1-0-0 on the BEL turf.
