Belmont Fall Meet

The Belmont Fall meet, racingwise, is really just an extension of the Saratoga meet. Many of the same horses will be racing there with the added bonuses of two year olds stretching out in distances.
Its an excellent meet, and I will be following it closely. The bias and trips notes compiled at the Spa will come in very handy when these horses race back at Belmont.
Tomorrow's card isn't too bad, and Saturday's will be even better.

Looking forward to it as well. I certainly hope we have more competitive and more attractive betting grade 1 races than we did at Saratoga. Seemed like many short price favorites and lopsided victories. In terms of weekends I dont think there is a meet comprable to this upcoming Belmont meet. I like the turf course better at Belmont than Saratogas.

The weekend of the JCGC is going to be awesome!

Pletcher already said Circular Quay and Scat Daddy won't be in the Champagne though...doesn't like the 3 week turnaround.

I was referring to Grade 1's. I didnt think any of them aside from the Whitney were all that memorable. Fleet Indian, Bernardini (twice), Henny Hughes all romped. In the Test 2 out of 14 horses did any running at all.

I was most disappointed by the Hopeful. They shouldn't have coupled the Toddies.
