Saratoga Race 10 - Belmont Gold Cup S. Stakes
LIMITED LIABILITY (3) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second over 2414m in the G2 Elkhorn Stakes at Keeneland (Turf) at his latest appearance. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Best form puts him right in this. TIMEOUT (12) finished a 13 length tenth on turf at Keeneland two back then followed up with a minor placing on dirt at Churchill Downs over 2414m five-and-a-half weeks ago. Takes on tougher opposition this time but should measure up. FLATTEN THE CURVE (1) scored last start in the G2 Oleander-Rennen at Hoppegarten to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. One to consider. ANGLOPHILE (5) fought on for second last start over 2213m in Group 2 class at Aqueduct (Turf), beaten one length to add to some fine recent form. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. Something for the Multiples: GRAND SONATA (8) PARCHMENT PARTY (13)
