NYRA Preview: Belmont Park 10/16

Race 5: $62,000 MSW for 2-year-olds going 1 mile (8 furlongs) on the Widener turf (horses must have sold or RNA for $45,000 or less in most recent sale) 

#6 Danzing Dunhill (6/5) finished third in his career debut, which came here on September 18 after training at Saratoga for George Weaver during the summer. He broke very slowly and was forced toward the back of the pack, where Manny Franco saved ground and waited as long as he could to unleash him. In his first workout since that debut, he posted a career-best :49.53 for 4 furlongs on the Saratoga main track. Everything suggests that this horse deserves to be the favorite and is the horse to beat.
