Belmont At The Big A Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight
WHITETHORN (2) sets the bar with five placings from five starts and was a close 2nd at Keeneland over 1811m, beaten 0.5L after making late ground; up in trip and well drawn. TRADING STRATEGY (4) is a key chance off a 2nd at Tampa Bay Downs over 1710m, beaten 1.3L after sitting handy. BAFFLE (3) has prior Aqueduct placings but must rebound from a 22.95L 7th last time. STAND THE RAIN (5) was 5th here over 1911m, beaten 1.2L from a wide gate and can be around the mark. COLLECTIVE BARGAIN (9) led on debut over 1609m before weakening to 5th of 5 and steps up in trip. Something for the Multiples: WHITETHORN (2) BAFFLE (3) COLLECTIVE BARGAIN (9) TRADING STRATEGY (4)
