1 1/16 Mile. (Inner Turf). Claiming $25,000. 3&up. Purse: $26,000.

Post - 1 p.m.1 Retake(L) 8-2-1 Prado Hernandez 121 8-1

2 Judge Well(L) 6-10-8 Espinoza Farro 121 12-1

3 The Plot Thickens(L) 2-6-8 Chavez Martin 121 3-1

4 Patrol Leader(L) 5-4-1 Maragh Jerkens 117 5-2

5 Patent Pending Tom(L) 7-6-2 Bridgmohan Fisher 121 30-1

6 Last Noble(L) 6-8-7 Luzzi Badgett 121 10-1

7 Wishingonadream(L) 10-4-9 Lopez DiSanto 114 12-1

8 First Of Ten(L) 4-4-5 Cohen Jacobson 121 7-2

9 Sallymasso(L) 1-5-4 Hill Schettino 117 8-1

Main Track Only

10 Long Jump(L) 5-2-4 Velasquez Clement 121 2-1

11 Show Trial(L) 9-1-4 Castellano Sacco 117 8-1

12 Hopeful Boy(L) 3-2-1 Lezcano Zito 117 5-1

First Of Ten was pace and position compromised in last and should pack amplified kick with cutback to shorter route. The Plot Thickens makes peak start of form cycle and will prove very tough on a soft lead. Patrol Leader looms a serious player if able to transfer main track form to turf; demand fair price.

5 Furlongs. Maiden Special Weight. 2yo. Purse: $50,000.

2 Kid Curry(L1) x-x-x Dominguez Hough 118 6-1

3 Soldat(L1) x-x-x Maragh McLaughlin 118 5-1

4 Merciless Cat(L1) x-x-x Rodriguez Arroyo 111 15-1

1 Bail Out the Cat(L1) x-x-x Garcia Violette 118 5-2

5 Gold Necessities x-x-x Cohen Breen 118 4-1

1a Pretend and Extend(L1) x-x-x Garcia Violette 118 5-2

6 Cousin Frankie(L1) x-x-x Velasquez Phipps 118 8-1

7 Pluck(L1) x-x-x Velazquez Pletcher 118 7-2

Gold Necessities ships in from Jersey base and is by high-percentage first-out sire; best guess in juvenile crapshoot. Violette entry: Bail Out the Cat is training strongly and mate Pretend and Extend is by top-shelf debut sire; just one goes with Garcia listed on both. Kid Curry is a January foal and hails from capable stable.

6 Furlongs. Maiden Special Weight. 3&up. Purse: $50,000.

1 Active Trader(L) 3-x-x Hill Hushion 118 1-1

2 He's Explosive(L) 6-x-x Velazquez Benzel 118 12-1

3 Mad for Smarty(L) 8-x-x Velasquez Jerkens 118 10-1

5 Scary Good(L) 4-3-5 Lezcano Zito 118 4-1

6 Ae Pit(L1) x-x-x Dominguez Serpe 118 6-1

Hushion entry: Active Trader has worked strongly since fast-figured debut and mate The Defense Rests earned swift internal numbers in first start; potent pairing. Just Hold On logged series of rapid 5-furlong works over Belmont surface; very playable. Scary Good owns speed and adds blinkers; worth long look.

6 Furlongs. Maiden Claiming $16,000. 3&up. NY Bred. Purse: $18,000.

1 Centripital(L) 9-6-4 Serpa Corrao 113 20-1

2 Buffalo Tsunami(L) 8-5-5 Cohen Bush 123 9-2

3 Eli's Comin(L) 7-3-5 Maragh Contessa 118 5-1

4 Gypsy Gent(L) 6-10-7 Espinoza Feron 123 12-1

5 Rappaport(L1) x-x-x Velasquez Rice 118 6-1

6 Little Traveller(L) 7-6-x Studart Ritvo 118 15-1

7 Spencerific(L) 4-5-4 Rodriguez Cedano 116 12-1

8 Karakorum Budman(L1) 3-6-3 Desormeaux Odintz 118 3-1

9 D'argento(L) 6-5-7 Santiago Dutrow 118 7-2

Buffalo Tsunami drops, returns to dirt and could play out as the main speed in weak field. Karakorum Budman gets first-time Lasix and could be sitting on lifetime best; very dangerous. Spencerific owns fast back figures and would be aided by fast fractions.

1 1/16 Mile. (Widener Turf). Maiden Special Weight. 3&up. Fillies and Mares. NY Bred. Purse: $37,000.

1 Grace and Courage(L) 5-2-3 Cohen Bush 118 9-2

2 My Honey Laurie(L) 5-2-4 Dominguez Brown 118 5-1

3 Holy Moly(L1) 4-x-x Maragh Clement 118 7-2

4 Mystic City(L) 2-3-5 Garcia Ferraro 118 3-1

5 D' Oratory(L1) x-x-x Castellano Weaver 118 12-1

6 Delightful Vicky(L) 4-4-4 Espinoza Aquilino 118 8-1

7 Es Mia(L) 4-6-6 Velasquez Ubillo 123 6-1

8 Ruby's Magic Spell(L1) 7-x-x Velazquez Kelly 118 12-1

Es Mia was compromised by wide trip in last and could be sitting on breakthrough in fourth start since five-month layoff. Holy Moly logged fast late pace figure in well-bet debut last fall and now gets the meds for return; could easily be the play. My Honey Laurie should move forward in second start since more than yearlong layoff. Mystic City is the one that must be caught; dangerous.

10 Golda Karakorum(L1) 6-x-x Espinoza Odintz 119 12-1

Main Track Only

11 Lady Alma(L) 10-7-5 No Rider Kelly 119 12-1

City Vice exits game second in blanket photo last time and fired 3-furlong bullet this past Friday; weakness of field is selection's strength. Sundae's A Meese gets class relief and favorable cutback to sprint; very interesting. Miss Tequila owns fast figures and is another that will be aided by shorter trip; likely favorite.

1 Mile. (Widener Turf). Claiming $35,000-$25,000. 3&up. Fillies and Mares. Purse: $32,000.

1 Palace Mistress(L) 1-5-3 Bridgmohan Terracciano 123 5-1

2 Tutti Va Bene(L) 6-4-7 Santiago Sciacca 121 12-1

3 Smart Woman(L) 3-1-1 Dominguez Dutrow 120 9-2

4 Shehashighhopes(L) 3-1-4 Velazquez DiPrima 121 7-2

5 Centrina(L) 6-1-4 Lezcano Martin 115 10-1

6 Kaleigh Rose(L) 2-10-3 Maragh Kimmel 121 3-1

7 Eleni's Hope(L) 9-1-3 Luzzi Imperio 121 20-1

8 Dattts Lady Di(L) 5-6-4 Garcia Hennig 121 6-1

9 Dear Contender 1-9-4 Studart Toscano 119 15-1

Palace Mistress earned fast late pace figure when a dominant winner in last at Turf Paradise and is a solid fit with the locals at this level. Datts Lady Di is from a dam that's produced three turf winners and projects as the controlling speed in peak start of form cycle; very playable. Smart Woman owns fast dirt figures and moves to grass for Tony Dutrow; must consider.

6 Metulla(L) 1-5-1 Lezcano Rodriguez 120 10-1

7 Seniors Pride(L) 4-3-4 Cohen Tannuzzo 120 8-1

Fuhrever Dancing owns two wins and two seconds in four starts at Belmont and looms the controlling speed on the rail. More Than A Reason was a clear-cut winner in last and owns fast back figures; very dangerous. Stealth Missile is right in the thick of this on 'A' game.

13 Eltish Star(L) 4-7-3 Espinoza Ortiz 123 10-1

1a Missile Motor(L) 3-6-3 No Rider Chatterpaul 123 6-1

Dark Cheetah exits tough-trip fourth in last and will pack enhanced kick with turn back to 7 furlongs. Brilliant Son is fresh and rested and owns fast dirt figures; very dangerous. Believeinmenow was game second in last and will possess more stretch pop at shorter trip; light work tab since last race is the concern. Of All Times is speedy and must be respected.
