Belmont Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Optional Claiming
JERSEY GUY (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1710m at Belmont Park Turf, beaten 4 lengths into sixth after being in the firing line on the corner. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. SABOTAGE (8) is a son of Olympiad from the Group 2 winner Boardroom who makes his debut. Strong profile and should play a role in the finish. BARDEN (10) was below his best last time, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths over 1207m at Belmont Park (Dirt) after being prominent at the turn. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. NODIN (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1710m at Belmont Park Turf, beaten 11 lengths into ninth. Nicely placed to find some form.

At debut, 5th of 9 at Belmont Park on October 4 over 1207m, 7 len behind Its Saturday Night carrying 56kg at $9.56. Encouraging signs on debut but this looks a tough assignment.
