Belmont Park Race 11 - Ticonderoga S. Stakes
MIDNIGHT CONCERTO (4) has scored at her last two starts, most recently by 0.1 lengths over 1710m in stakes class at Saratoga Turf (Turf). That continued the very strong form this campaign, with three wins and two minor placings from five starts. Leading player again. AWESOME CZECH (2) lifted strongly only to just miss last start over 1811m in Listed grade at Laurel Turf (Turf). The engagement of Ricardo Santana Jr is noteworthy. Facing a tougher assignment but she is capable of another big run. GALLANT GRETA (9) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by one length over 1710m at Listed level at Remington Park Turf (Turf). Will be better for that latest run and is expected to run well again. BEING BETTY (7) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to just miss when second over 1710m in Listed grade at Saratoga Turf (Turf). Will find this much easier. Well placed and expected to measure up. Among the top-three hopes.

Comes here off a 55-day let-up. At the latest run faded in the straight ran second last of 8 in Listed grade at Saratoga Turf at Saratoga Turf on August 30 over 1710m, 5 len behind Midnight Concerto with 57kg at $16.43. The start before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd in a small field at Saratoga Inner Turf on August 13 over 1609m, nose behind Table Flirt carrying 55kg at $7.83. Shouldn't trouble the top few.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 55-day let-up. At the latest run held ground to the line 3rd of 8 in Listed grade at Saratoga Turf at Saratoga Turf on August 30 over 1710m, neck behind Midnight Concerto with 56kg at $10.71. The start before that won by a nose at Saratoga Turf on August 8 over 1710m defeating Scratch It carrying 57kg at $3.79. Solid prospects with a similar effort to last time.

Chasing a hat-trick. Comes here off a 55-day let-up. At the latest run won by a 0.1 len in Listed grade at Saratoga Turf at Saratoga Turf on August 30 over 1710m defeating Being Betty carrying 56kg at $3.47. Before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a 0.3 len at Saratoga Turf on August 13 over 1911m defeating Tulip carrying 57kg at $2.61. Should be right in the finish.

Second-up. First-up after 11 months 5th of 10 at this track on October 4 over 1811m, 6 len behind Carmensita with 56kg at $52.98. Previously second-up eased back early on 6th of 8 at Saratoga on August 30 2025 over 1609m, 11 len behind Midtown Lights carrying 56.5kg at $24.60. Unlikely to threaten.
