SUNRIVER EYES BELMONT STAKES
Sunriver may have earned himself a spot in the Belmont Stakes as the Todd Pletcher trainee caught Lewis Michael nearing the wire to win the 53rd running of the Grade 2 Peter Pan Stakes yesterday. Ridden to victory by Rafael Bejarano, Sunriver was one of four stakes winners for Pletcher on the day. Pletcher also mentioned he may send Sir Barton winner High Cotton to the Belmont Stakes as well.
1st RACE - Though ending up with a lemon usually may not be a good thing, it was what you wanted in this race as Green Lemon loved the yielding turf course and easily broke his maiden by 14 lengths. Lemon Shore closed well to finish second and complete the Lemon exacta. Favored Wrigley was involved in an early speed duel and tired to fourth.
4th RACE - Race was named the New York Post as after the race, Scott Byrne of Floral Park was presented as the winner of the contest to own part of a thoroughbred with West Point Stable. The horse, Defrereoftheheart, was taken to the winners' circle, and after finding his right side, stood gallantly alongside Byrne for photos. In the race, Pletcher debuted another good 3-year-old as Sterwins came full of run on the rail to finish second to gate-to-wire winner Johnny Spreadsheet.
6th RACE - Light Classic is a lightly raced filly with a bright future ahead of her. She was sent off the favorite and she rated off the pace while saving ground, then on the turn tried to get outside for clear running room. She forced first-time starter Leaveitinthering outside but she did have a clear lane turning for home. But then she ran greenly, ducking inside behind horses. When she got outside again, she came full of run for third.
9th RACE - Bejarano completed his sweep of the late double as he guided Classic Fran to the outside and drew off in the stretch for the victory. Buxton Hill ran well for the place spot. Tony Lantana was making a strong run on the turn but then had to check so severely he fell back out of the race and allowed to jog to through the stretch.
