Beautiful Street (5): Woke up when getting on the turf for the first time, should get an ideal set up stalking the speed.

First Appeal (2): Comes in fresh for Linda Rice and Jose Ortiz who went on a tear here last year.

Really Proud (3): Trainer Clement was red hot to end the Belmont meet and should have continued success here.

Race 9) 6 Furlongs. Sanford S. Grade III. Purse $150,000 FOR TWO-YEAR-OLDS. Grade III Sanford

Bano Solo (7): Highly regarded Asmussen who ran to his backing first out.

Sombeyay (1): Should get the pace set-up needed here with most of the runners having an early pace presence.

Chase Greatness (6): Conditioner DePaz has had a lot of success in NY the past 3 years, everything he brings is well meant.

Race 10) 1&1/8 Mile. (Turf) Diana S. Grade I. Purse $500,000 FOR FILLIES AND MARES THREE YEARS OLD AND UPWARD

Sistercharlie (1): Ran huge to just miss in the G2 New York; she had no pace to run at, which will not be an issue this time.

Proctor’s Ledge (2): Another who should enjoy a good set-up with the pace signed on, she is 2-for-2 over the course and a dangerous player.

A Raving Beauty (6): In great form since coming to the states and joining the Chad Brown barn; she is dangerous but we are against this time.

Race 11) 1 Mile.(Inner Turf) Clm 50000 Purse $70,000 INNER TURF

Hieroglyphics (9): As many are in this race, this one is dropping to win but is still in decent enough form to support. for high profile connections.

Jess I Am (10): Cox is very good off the layoff and this one fired a bullet at Belmont on 7/14, he should be ready to roll.

Monster Bea (6): If the race falls apart this is the one I want on my tickets to mow them all down.
