Belmont Park April 30, 2022

Race 7: Allowance Optional Claiming

#3 Southern District was an impressive winner last time out and should make it two in a row in this spot. This horse could be progressing into something nice. #5 Tiergan was second in a tougher starter stakes event last time out and defeated New York bred allowance runners two starts back.

Race 8: Allowance

#6 Mr Breadwinner can pull the upset today if he takes to the surface. His last race over a muddy dirt track at Aqueduct was impressive. #8 Lord Flintshire is a very consistent runner who is usually around at the end with a chance. He fits in well this this class level and his only win came over this track.

Race 9: Elusive Quality Stakes

#6 Value Proposition was a solid third in a similar race to this one last time out, which was his first start off of the layoff. He should progress today. #3 Proven Strategies comes into this race off of a nice allowance victory over this track last time out at Gulfstream Park.

Race 10: Maiden Special Weight

#7 Basis Risk debuts in this spot for Chad Brown, who has been fantastic with first time starters lately. This horse is working well leading up to this debut. #1 Sinful Dancer runs third off of the layoff here, which should lead to improvement, while cutting back in distance should help his chances.
