Belmont at the Big A race results

She wasn't 100-1 this time and it's doubtful she ever will be again. NBS Stable's Ground Support (f, 2, Army Mule--Arch Support, by Arch), fresh off a 100-1 debut win going a mile at Kentucky Downs Aug. 30, secured her berth in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf with a 'Win and You're In' victory in Saturday's GII Miss Grillo Stakes at Belmont at the Big A. "I don't know why they didn't like her at Kentucky Downs," said trainer Kelsey Danner with a laugh. "She does everything right,...

Gold Square's Napoleon Solo (c, 2, Liam's Map--Atomic Blonde, by Scat Daddy), a very sharp debut winner of an auction-restricted maiden special weight sprinting at Saratoga Aug. 8, put on a dominating display in Saturday's 'Win and You're In' GI Champagne S. going a one-turn mile at the Belmont at the Big A meeting. Sent to the front by Joel Rosario over a surface playing very kindly to speed, the 6-1 chance cleared from his outside draw and led through fractions of :22.53 and :44.24 with imposing 2-5 favorite It's...

Gary Barber and Peter Deutsch's Final Accord (War of Will), a very sharp debut winner sprinting over the Woodbine lawn Sept. 11, stayed perfect in Thursday's GIII Matron S. at the Belmont at the Big A meeting. Sixth through a half mile in :44.60, Junior Alvarado tipped Final Accord out off the turn for home and the 5-1 chance came rolling down the center while racing greenly to win by a length. Favored Royal Testament (Midshipman) nosed out unlucky pacesetter Should've (Not This Time) for second. The latter was rushed...

George A. Mellon's Patriot Spirit (Constitution), a smart last-out winner of the Reigh Count S. going seven furlongs at Colonial July 26, punched his ticket to the GI Breeders' Cup Sprint with a 1 1/2-length victory in Saturday's 'Win and You're In' GIII Vosburgh S. at the Belmont at the Big A meeting. Well-backed as the 5-2 second-choice, he pressed in second through an opening quarter in :22.76, hit the front while traveling nicely beneath Javier Castellano at the top of the stretch and took care of business from there...

Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners and Walmac Farm's 'TDN Rising Star' and MGISW Locked (Gun Runner), a sensational winner of the GI Santa Anita H. Mar. 1, got back in the win column at odds of 6-5 in Saturday's scratched-down GII Woodward S. at the Belmont at the Big A meeting. Locked chased in second and was ridden along by John Velazquez as favored Phileas Fogg (Astern {Aus}) led the field of three through fractions of :24.89 and :48.69. All in on the far turn and appearing to be heading in the...

4th-BAQ, $85K, Msw, 2yo, 6fT, 2:37 p.m. ET. A $500,000 grad from the Fasig-Tipton October Yearling sale, FOURTH DIMENSION (Not This Time) makes his first start for Wathnan and trainer Bill Mott. Initially going for $200,000 during Keeneland January, the dark bay is out of Aureum (Medaglia d'Oro), who was a 220,000gns purchase at the 2021 Tattersalls July sale by Blandford Bloodstock. Aureum--who also produced current filly 3-year-old in-training Loveontheleftbank (Invincible Spirit {Ire})--is herself a half-sister to MGISP Nemoralia (More Than Ready), the dam of GII Lake Placid Stakes heroine...
