Belmont At The Big A Race 11 - Race 11 - Mdn Special Weight
SIR OSCAR (9) Resumes from a break of 50 weeks. Amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 1/2L last start at this venue. Racing for a new trainer. Should go close. BEFORE THE WIND (6) Strong effort when finishing 2nd last run at this venue. Can measure up to this company. KARSTEN (3) 3yo by Mendelssohn having first race start for Jorge R Abreu. Follow the money. KULEANA (8) Racing fresh today after a break of 29 weeks. Hit the line well when 3rd beaten by 5 1/2L last run around here. Has to be strongly considered.

Resuming after break. Started $69.00 and showed some merit late when 4th last run around here and drawn the rails. Looks hopeful.

Fresh after a 42 week spell. At $23.00 pushed past some when 4th last start at Saratoga and was a debutant last start. Going over more ground. This won't be easy.
