#3 Translate
Second in
both starts so far, including last time when coming back from a three-month
layoff with an improved effort here at Belmont to lose by a head. Was moving
well late in that 6F race last time, and seems to benefit the most of the top
contenders today from this stretch to 7F in what will be her second race off
the layoff.
Race 10
#3 Selflessly
Plus play exacta box w/ #2 Speaktomeofsummer
#3
Selflessly was the winner of the G2 Miss Grillo here as a 2yo and has always
been high quality. Returned to best form again last time out with a win at
Saratoga in the Lake George over Sweet Melania. Back at a mile and ready to
make it two in a row for Chad Brown with Jose Ortiz aboard.
Play in exacta
box with #2 Speaktomeofsummer, who goes out for trainer Christophe Clement and
looks to extend the Brown/Clement rivalry that has been so good on the grass
this year in New York. Winner of the Lake Placid at Saratoga two races ago did
not handle a stretchout to 1 3/16 miles last time out in the $500k Saratoga
Oaks. Stakes winner at one-mile will appreciate this cutback in distance.
