2 Beckon(L) 5-x-x Castro McLaughlin 120 7-2
3 Mr. Hadif(L) 3-4-7 Castellano Lostritto 120 12-1

10 Anwar Sadat(L) 9-7-5 Velasquez Rodriguez 120 4-1
Main Track Only
11 Yankee Hill(L) 9-5-10 Lezcano Feron 122 20-1
King Prada earned solid late pace figure after a prolonged drive when fifth in last; rates call based on price potential. Saluting Stormye drops and returns to turf; very dangerous on 'A' game. Implied Odds should pack intensified kick with cutback to sprint.

1 Mile. Claiming $10,000. 3&up. Fillies and Mares. Purse: $23,000.
1 Exiled Princess(L) 6-4-2 Jimenez Martin 110 7-2
2 Lorraine in Spain(L) 6-3-3 Velasquez Hough 120 5-1
3 Offlee Cool(L) 1-4-4 Dominguez Galluscio 117 5-2

6 Spiritual Tune(L) 8-6-1 Chavez Barker 117 12-1
7 Amiga Del Sol(L) 7-7-4 Solis Kimmel 117 3-1
8 Luck(L) 3-2-3 Lezcano Hernandez 120 6-1
Offlee Cool gets class boost after easy score in last at Mth; main speed with aggressive ride. Exiled Princess gets class relief, switches back to dirt and pulls weight from the field; big-time player. Amiga Del Sol is fresh and training with a purpose; must consider.

6 Furlongs. Allowance Optional Claiming. 3&up. Purse: $57,000.
1 Captain Cherokee(L) 2-1-2 Gomez Asmussen 120 8-5
2 Ah Day(L) 2-7-4 Cohen Leatherbury 120 6-1
3 Rollers(L) 7-1-5 Dominguez Tagg 120 6-1
4 Go Go Shoot(L) 3-12-3 Velazquez Pletcher 120 2-1
5 African King(L) 4-2-1 Castellano Jacobson 120 5-1
Ah Day packs a potent stretch punch that should play well in probable pace dynamics of small field. African King is speedy and loves Belmont Park; very dangerous. Rollers needed last and owns fast figures on best efforts; worth a look.

6 Furlongs. (Inner Turf). Maiden Claiming $50,000-$40,000. 3&up. Fillies and Mares. Purse: $32,000.
1 So Much Heart(L1) 6-9-x Coa Reiff 120 30-1

Main Track Only
10 Spoleto(L) 6-x-x No Rider McLaughlin 118 4-1
11 Tatum Creek(L1) x-x-x No Rider Clement 120 6-1
Perfect Berry makes first start with maiden claiming tag and logged four tightly grouped workouts since last outing; breakthrough predicted. Marabelle is fleet-footed and will prove tough on an unchallenged lead. Weak Dollar Policy is from a dam that's produced two turf winners; don't dismiss.

1 1/16 Mile. (Widener Turf). Maiden Special Weight. 3&up. Fillies and Mares. NY Bred. Purse: $44,000.
1 Tropical Jetset(L) 3-3-2 Maragh Schettino 120 4-1

3 She's for Real(L) 7-3-6 Jimenez DiSanto 115 15-1

7 New York Kitten(L) 4-6-6 Leparoux Maker 120 3-1
8 Frazzie(L) 6-4-10 Prado Schosberg 120 8-1
9 Sundae's a Meese(L) 3-4-4 Velasquez Rice 120 6-1
10 Luna Clara 7-10-8 Santiago Callejas 120 20-1
Also Eligible
11 Quixsand 3-4-8 Gomez Reinacher 120 6-1
12 Splendrous(L) 5-3-3 Velazquez Maymo 120 12-1
Main Track Only
13 D' Oratory(L) 2-3-x Velazquez Bond 120 1-1
Tropical Jetset was pace and trip compromised in last and has the benefit of the rail today. Turned To Gold displayed strong late kick into hot final fraction when second in same last race as top selection; very playable. New York Kitten didn't care for slop last time but tallied swift late pace figure on turf in prior; right in the thick of this. Sundae's A Meese showed improved speed in last and now makes first start since moving to Linda Ric barn; dangerous. Quixsand must be factored into mix if able to escape AE list.

7 Furlongs. Maiden Claiming $16,000. 3&up. Purse: $19,000.
1 Stones Throw(L) 3-3-3 Castro Ryerson 122 7-2
2 Central Red Raider(L) 7-4-8 Santiago Gyarmati 118 15-1
3 With Options(L) 3-x-x Figueroa Kopaj 118 10-1
4 Mystic Era(L) 7-7-8 Jimenez Toscano 111 50-1
5 Driven by Fear(L) 2-3-2 Dominguez Brown 122 2-1
6 Dundee(L) 9-6-10 Cohen Levine 118 12-1
7 Quickstone(L) 10-x-x Chavez Ice 118 20-1
8 Zen Village(L) 9-6-3 Luzzi McLaughlin 118 8-1
9 D'argento(L) 2-3-3 Velasquez Johnson 118 5-2
Stones Throw logged improved internal figure when making middle move in last and could be primed for lifetime best in weak field. D'argento will be the beneficiary if fractions get hot and hectic; very dangerous. Driven By Fear tallied very fast numbers last year; anything left? Zen Village drops two class levels; fire sale?

1 Mile. (Widener Turf). Claiming $16,000. 3&up. Purse: $26,000.
1 Marina Market(L) 5-2-3 Studart Persaud 123 20-1
2 Old Man Buck(L) 1-1-6 Velazquez Jacobson 123 6-1
3 Extra Zip(L) 7-6-7 Hill Toscano 123 12-1
4 Dos Hombres(L) 7-6-5 Maragh Schettino 123 8-1
5 Riptide(L) 8-9-1 Chavez Sciacca 123 12-1
6 Sly(L) 5-3-1 Dominguez Dutrow 123 9-2
7 Big Motor(L) 9-9-9 Gracia Mena, II 113 50-1
8 Unaccountable(L) 1-1-1 Lezcano Brown 123 5-2
9 The Plot Thickens(L) 7-12-9 Jimenez Martin, Sr. 116 20-1
10 Parc des Princes(L) 9-4-3 Castellano Contessa 123 3-1
Also Eligible
11 Xela(L) 5-6-3 Espinoza Schettino 123 15-1
12 First of Ten(L) 8-5-3 Cohen Jacobson 123 15-1
Main Track Only
13 Nkosi Reigns(L) 2-6-1 No Rider Levine 123 7-2
14 Saratoga Sinner(L) 1-8-1 Leparoux Shivmangal 123 5-2
Unaccountable has won five of last six and has trained strongly since victory on July 31; more to come. Parc des Princess wilted on dirt last time, but will prove far more formidable with return to turf; price will be tempting. Sly makes peak start of form cycle and will be aided by today's longer trip. Old Man Buck won last two on dirt at spring/summer meeting and owns three wins on turf; don't ignore.

6 1/2 Furlongs. The EASY N' DIRTY. 3&up. NY Bred. Purse: $70,000
1 Driven by Success(L) 1-2-1 Velazquez Pletcher 124 9-5
2 Be Bullish(L) 1-2-3 Cohen Englehart 124 8-1
3 Endless Circle(L) 1-2-1 Prado Rodriguez 124 2-1
4 Good Card(L) 3-7-3 Espinoza Kelly 118 20-1
5 General Maximus(L) 9-2-1 Castellano Terranova, II 116 4-1
6 Ezzy(L) 9-1-1 Coa Callejas 122 20-1
7 Mineswept(L) 1-5-1 Garcia Serpe 116 8-1
1a Dr. W(L) 6-4-2 DeCarlo Pletcher 118 9-5
Mineswept powered off to 4 ¼ -length score in last and could receive perfect setup in field that's jammed with speed. Driven by Success is fleet-footed and fires big efforts with machine-like consistency; could easily take this. Endless Circle defeated 'Success' by four lengths on Aug. 5 and hails from Rudy Rodriguez barn; be no surprise. Be Bullish earned fast pace figure when winning last at FL; very interesting.

Also Eligible
11 Eur in the Mood(L1) x-x-x Hill Martin 120 8-1
12 Soinlovewithuam I(L) 8-3-x Garcia Rice 120 5-2
13 Blond Halo(L) 6-7-3 Velazquez O'Brien 120 5-1
14 Lillehammer(L1) x-x-x Leparoux Pugh 120 8-1
15 Nobu Baby(L) 9-x-x Castro Woodington 120 30-1
16 Katester(L) 8-7-6 Chavez Ferraro 120 30-1
Gin Cat tallied improved pace figure in last after rallying for fourth in debut and owns strong grass bloodlines on both sides of pedigree. Social Statement was even fourth in debut and is from dam that's produced five turf winners; very dangerous. Soinlovewithuam I was game third in debut on grass and must be factored into mix if able to draw in from AE list. Zellweger is a newcomer with a strong turf pedigree; stay tuned to the tote.
