Of the horses mentioned, Colizeo took an allowance race in impressive style last time out; Age of Humor has ...

Just last Sunday we reported on the Japan Derby (gr. I) victor of Eishin Flash, a son of King’s Best. Just a week later, another son of King’s Best, Workforce, gave King’s Best a remarkable Derby double with a seven lengths Epsom Derby (gr. I) win, in a new course record.

That fact alone makes this an intriguing race, and even more than that, a very good betting race. Admittedly, I struggled to handicap this Belmont. I do not believe there is much separating the top six or seven horses in here, and for ...

His latest exploit saw him return from a near four-month break to take the Metropolitan Handicap (gr. I). In doing so, he lead throughout, turning back a pair of ...
