| The New York, New York Stakes is a one and
one-half mile marathon on the main course for 3-year-olds and up to be
contested for a purse of $45,000. The conditions of the New
York, New York read more like a second-level allowance race than a
stakes, and that leaves the door open for A. J. Melini to handle this
short field of six. A. J. Melini recently dominated
Hopefortheroses and Stars Of Silver here at Calder in a stakes event
and today he should do the same. The only difference is that the
distance is longer by 5/16 of a mile but that plays into the hands of
A. J. Melini. A son of Matty G, A. J. Melini is bred to enjoy
the classic distances. Ed Plesa trains and A. Castellano, Jr.
gets the mount. We don't expect a great price, but we expect to
win.

Synopsis Arlington Park Race 4 |
| The 4th at Arlington is a seven panel sprint on the main course for
3-year-olds and up to be
contested under non-winners-of-two claiming ($25,000 tag) conditions for a purse of
$16,000. Wayne Catalano enters Engineering Marvel, a son
of Halo's Image, and he is the horse to beat. Lightly raced,
Engineering Marvel followed up a maiden victory with an excellent
third in optional claiming conditions, and even though the field was
short (5) Engineering Marvel served notice he is on the improve.
All The Facts draws the rail, and All The Facts is fresh off a big
maiden win for a $20,000 tag and he will appreciate the trip from the
rail. Flying Cayman will be prominent throughout, exhibiting his
superior speed, and is a prime exotics threat. Flight Ready and
Cope With Honor are exotics threats who will be closing on the field
late in the race. |

conditions for a purse of $44,000. He's A Lumberjack is actually

Action, a son of Precise End rained by Richard Violette, and Precise
Action will be prominent throughout. Exotics candidates are
going to include Cooking The Books, Long Lost Pal, and New Testament. |

Synopsis Belmont Park Race 5 |
| The 5th at Belmont Park is a six furlong sprint on the main course
for 3-year-olds and up to be contested under allowance optional claiming
conditions for a purse of $45,000. Godophin Stables enters
Afrashad who has not raced in nearly two years since a successful
debut in a dirt sprint in Lingfield (Great Britain). Afrashad
sports a line of very impressive works for trainer bin Suroor Saeed and
this is a good spot for Afrashad to return to the races. Cool
Springs Saint has enjoyed a modicum of success for trainer Bruce
Levine and also returns from a layoff (seven months). Saratoga
Jet will show pace today but probably cannot hold on in deep stretch.
Mayo Post will be making his customary late run. |

Synopsis Belmont Park Race 6 |
| The Grade 2 True North Handicap is a six furlong sprint on the
main course for 3-year-olds and up to be contested under handicap
conditions for a purse of $200,000. Tiger could well be
the best sprinter in the country barring Lost In the Fog. Tiger
ran away from the competition in the Bold Ruler here at Belmont May 13
and earned a Beyer of 110 in setting fractions of 55 and 4/5 and 108
and 2/5. This followed another 108 and 2/5 time, earned this
time at Aqueduct in a six
furlong allowance optional claimer in April (Beyer 111). Tiger
has plenty of competition today in the True North. Anew is
registering fast times, too, and he defeated Tiger in March, although
that was before Tiger began destroying the competition. Spanish
Chestnut, third place finisher in the B. C. Commonwealth at Keeneland
behind Sun King and Kazoo, will relish the six furlong distance and
should be flying down the lane late. Vicarage is a hard knocker
for Todd Pletcher but today he may be in over his head. Celtic Innis and Uncle Camie are trifecta possibilities. |

Synopsis Belmont Park Race 7 |
| The Grade 2 Just A Game Handicap is a one mile event on the
Widener (outer) turf course for fillies and mares 3-year-olds and up to be contested under handicap
conditions for a purse of $300,000. The Just A Game is host to a
classic showdown between the best of the U. S. distaff grass milers
and the best of the European milers. Gorella, the 4-year-old
French filly who finished 3rd in the Breeders Cup Mile against the
boys, finishing less than a length to the worse of Artie Schiller and
Leroidesanimeaux, is the best talent in the Just A Game. Gorella
recently finished 5th in the Churchill Downs Turf Classic against the
boys once again, beaten less than two lengths by English Channel and
Cacique, and Gorella registered a 104 Beyer in the process.
Gorella will be flying late in the Just A Game and the only chance to
beat her is to get the jump on her. That will be the strategy of
the American turf runners Wend and Pommes Frites. Each has
peaked at the 100 Beyer mark, but each was fully extended in doing so,
and the pace of the Just A Game is probably going to be quicker than
Wend or Pommes Frites will prefer. This will set up Gorella's
late kick, and it could be lights out at that point. An
honorable mention is Mirabilis, a Bobby Frankel trained European
import who is talented but a step behind the top runners today.
Also deserving mention is Ozone Bere, a French import trained by
Christophe Clement, a rapidly improving filly who has raced against
excellent European competition. |

Synopsis Belmont Park Race 8 |
| The Grade 2 Woody Stephens B. C. is a seven panel sprint the main
course for 3-year-olds to be contested for a purse of $250,000.
An outstanding field gathers for the Woody Stephens, including Too
Much Bling and Songster, the one-two finishers of the Bay Shore at
Aqueduct. Too Much Bling was credited with a 113 Beyer in the
Bay Shore and is at the top of his game now. He'll need to be to
fend off Songster again, because Songster posted a 107 Beyer in the
Hirsch Jacobs at Pimlico on the Preakness undercard. To make matters
more complicated, Keyed Entry returns from his Kentucky Derby debacle
to turn things around today. Keyed Entry, you will remember,
defeated First Samurai in the Hutcheson and finished second to Like
Now in the Gotham. Keyed Entry will probably be the second
betting choice to Too Much Bling. The speedy Noonmark, runner-up
to Sharp Humor in the Swale, also runs in the Woody Stephens today and
merits respect. Honorable mentions include Doc Cheney, runner-up
to Preakness winner Bernardini in the Withers, and Likely, an
up-and-coming sprinter handled by Patrick Biancone. |

Synopsis Belmont Park Race 9 |
| The Grade 1 Acorn is a one-turn mile on the main
course for 3-year-old fillies to be contested for a purse of $250,000.
Many of the best of the 3-year-old filly crop have gathered at Belmont
for the Acorn today. Adieu has to be considered the headliner
off her brilliant juvenile campaign which included a victory in the Spinaway over juvenile champion filly Folklore. Adieu returned
from a six month freshening (following her 7th place finish in the
Breeders Cup Juvenile Filly) to run second to Joint Effort in the La
Troien at Churchill. The rust should be off the wheels now and
Adieu is set to run well today. Teammate returns to the track
after 3 months off following an outstanding win in the Bonnie Miss at
Gulfstream. Allen Jerkens scratched Teammate from scheduled
races on at least one occasion since the Bonnie Miss so there is mild
concern as to her fitness, but if she is ready she is going to be a
handful for the others. Miraculous Miss is in fine form but she
will need the best race of her life to take the Acorn. An
exotics finish is more likely for Miraculous Miss. Honorable
mentions in the Acorn are Ermine, Wonder Lady Anne L, Bushfire, and
Last Romance. |

Synopsis Belmont Park Race 10 |
| The Grade 1 Manhattan Handicap is a 1 1/4 mile route on the
inner turf course for 3-year-olds and up to be contested under handicap
conditions for a purse of $400,000. The Manhattan is host to a
stellar field highlighted by defending champion Good Reward and
runner-up Relaxed Gesture, Murray Memorial Handicap winner Grey
Swallow, and the one-two finishers in the Churchill Downs Turf
Classic, English Channel and Cacique. We can eliminate last
year's one-two finishers Good Reward and Relaxed Gesture from anything
but exotics placings because the European imports Grey Swallow and Cacique are
simply too strong, and they are both now acclimated to the weather
conditions of the U. S. Grey Swallow is a son of Champion Turf
horse Daylami, and like Cacique, has competed well against the best
turf talent in the world, including Bago, Gorella, Azamour, Starcraft,
and Oratorio. That's as good as it gets. Sabre d'Argent is
another in today's field that will challenge for the exotics, but Grey
Swallow and Cacique stand tall in this field. |
