Saratoga Race 13 - Belmont S. Presented By Nyra Bets Stakes
RENEGADE (4) rates on top after a strong 2nd at Churchill Downs over 2012m, beaten 0.3L, having previously posted decisive Stakes wins at Tampa Bay Downs (1710m) and Oaklawn Park (1811m). GOLDEN TEMPO (9) is the danger, coming off the same Churchill race where he stormed home to win from a wide draw. COMMANDMENT (7) can rebound dropping back in trip after a Gulfstream Park 1811m Stakes win two back. GROWTH EQUITY (6) brings sharp form with back‑to‑back Aqueduct wins, the latest a 1811m Stakes by 2L. POWERSHIFT (2) is progressive off a Churchill Downs 1710m Maiden win and earlier Tampa Bay Downs 2nd, while CHIEF WALLABEE (3) was close-up 3rd in a Gulfstream 1811m Stakes before a solid Churchill 2012m 4th.
