Belmont At The Big A Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
RIVER RIDE (4) Attacked the line when 2nd last run at the track and good career start. Producing consistent results this campaign. Will go well. DEVILISH GRIN (5) Close to claiming the win last start around here. Jockey Jaime Rodriguez rates highly aboard. Can have an impact. FANGO CREEK (1) 3yo debutant by Candy Ride for trainer William I Mott and has a nice advantage with a good draw. Follow the money. MAJESTIC MOONLIGHT (3) Kept chasing when 3rd last time at this venue. Has to be included.
