Belmont Park Race 2 - Bertram F. Bongard S. Stakes
CALLING MR MO (3) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at his second outing when prominent at the bend, finishing one length from the winner in second at the end of 1710m at Saratoga Inner Turf. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. SOLDIER'S GLORY (7) impressed when successful on debut over 1207m at Belmont Park Inner Turf (Synthetic) a week-and-a-half ago. Will come on following that run and looks tough to hold out again. SCALENE (2) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1106m at Saratoga Turf (Turf) six weeks ago. Sure to make his presence felt again. ROAD SHOW (1) brings the right form to this race after taking out a 1207m contest at Saratoga last time out by 2.25 lengths. Major contender. Something for the Multiples: CALLING MR. MO (3)

Third race start today. At very long odds at debut, ran second last of 10 at Saratoga on July 31 over 1207m, 20 len behind Fullcup carrying 56kg at $51.19. Second-up 7th of 10 at Saratoga Inner Turf on August 26 over 1710m, 11 len behind House Of War carrying 56kg at $69.48. Needs to improve to trouble the top handful.
