Jen’s Miracle gets in done in the first. Gold Potion looked good going into the final turn, but cornered terribly. Tough to draw too many track conclusions.
Questions answered:
1. Does Jen’s Miracle appreciate the stretch out?
Yes. She looked strong and was easily the best.
2. Lemon Honey is the fastest. Will she like the wet track?
She ran ok, but was never really a factor.
3. Does Please No Emails get an easy lead?
She appeared to, but she just wasn’t good enough.
Race of the Day, June 5
Belmont Park
It’s finally stopped raining here at Belmont, and I think my shirt is finally dry. The track? Sloppy. And it looks that way.
The first at Belmont is a dirt mile for non-winners of two lifetime. Scratch the 5.
Lemon Honey brings the fastest speed to the race and is your likely favorite. But Please No Emails is interesting. She’s making a subtle class drop and has a win over a wet track. I’m also taking a good look at Jen’s Miracle, stretching out in her second start for Contessa.

Analysis
The wet track increases the risk on Lemon Honey. First race of the day will tell us about the track condition. The class drop put me on Please No Emails.
