Belmont Park Race 8

Post Time 3:22 PM CST
Analysis by Emily Gullikson

If this race stays together as its drawn, the pace should be Contentious (Fire) and a scenario to set up for #9 HIGH OAK from off the pace. As an individual, he showed brilliance early on when breaking his maiden on debut and improving in a big way to win the Saratoga Special (G2) in just his. Since those early juvenile days he has struggled to find the winners circle and also his way to the track noting excessive layoffs that arguably drew a line through his sophomore season. He has returned this summer in form, and running races without the time between starts. Those races also have seen him return to his top efforts, recording consistent OptixFIG in the 90's and numbers on par for today's G3 event.
