Belmont Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
EXONERATE (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 2414m at Kentucky, beaten 5.5 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to find some form. NEWLYN (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when ninth over 1710m at Saratoga Inner Turf seven-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can turn things around. PRINTER'S ALLEY (7) was well fancied on the back of a couple of minor placings but could only manage eighth last start over 1207m at Belmont Park (Synthetic). Worth noting Javier Castellano is the change of rider. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Capable of testing this field.
