Belmont Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
HOLD'EM (2) settled well back when 15 lengths from the winner in tenth over 1609m at Belmont Park Turf last start, a less impressive effort than his sixth on debut at Belmont Park Turf the run before. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. ELECTION HERO (5) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1710m at this track (Dirt) when third, beaten 11 lengths. Likely improver so he should pay to follow. HORIZONTAL RAIN (3) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 7 lengths from the winner in fourth at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Comes into calculations. LIVE (6) ran a better race last start at his second appearance, finishing fourth over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Has further upside and looks ready to break through.
