Belmont At The Big A Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming
DOWNTOWN CHANNEL (6) maps to control after leading all the way to win an Aqueduct 1609m Allowance by 1.3L on 18 Apr and also has a prior 1710m win at Saratoga. CAN'T FOOL ME (1) looks the main danger after a strong 2nd here over 1710m on 1 May, beaten 2L, and draws the rail. SCYTHIAN (5) was 4th in that same 1710m race, beaten 4L, and holds consistent recent stakes/allowance form. SNOWY EVENING (4) was 5th there and did place 3rd in a similar 1710m event last November. Pace should favor Downtown Channel if left alone up front. Something for the Multiples: DOWNTOWN CHANNEL (6) CAN'T FOOL ME (1) SCYTHIAN (5) SNOWY EVENING (4)
