Belmont Park Selections

20:38 - Sand And Sea NB

This 3-y-o filly was well backed when sent off just 5/2 for her racecourse debut here in May but she only managed a midfield finish on what became a sloppy dirt surface.

She was making headway on the straight but the conditions were far from ideal therefore she is expected to take a significant step forward for both the experience and switch to quicker ground.

William Mott’s horses often improve for their first run and Juan Alvarado has been booked to ride.

21:09 - Digital Future NAP

Chad Brown’s Digital Future took a massive leap forward from his debut when finishing second here in May and any further improvement on that form would make him tough to beat.

He was only collared late by a Wesley Ward 1/2 shot that contested the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Sprint last season and he is unlikely to bump into a rival of that ilk this evening.

Irad Ortiz rides.
