BELMONT 5/28/23
RACE 4
3- TOWER BRIDGE- Is one of two fillies making her career debut for C. Brown in this Sp. Wt. for fillies at seven furlongs. Has been training steadily right along and her dam has put out winners so far. Aside from her stablemate, she isn’t facing much in here and won’t need to be the next coming of Goodnight Olive to prove tough against this modest group of fillies.

RACE 5- TURF ONLY
5- BRICCO- Finished with an okay stretch run when running on gamely through the final furlong to narrowly miss the show spot in one of these starter allowances going 1 1/16 miles on the grass at Aqueduct in first run back off a five and a half month layoff two races back in April. Raced outside, put in a mild outside bid on the turn, but was then empty when 8th against state bred 1x allowance runners going one mile on the turf in follow up race two weeks ago. Gets back into a starter allowance today and the seven furlong trip of this race is a good fit for him. Has been an inconsistent runner for the most part during his career, but he is in a good situation to run one of his better races and that will make him a serious threat in here.

RACE 6- TURF ONLY
4- BRISKY FROLIC- Set the pace for six and a half furlongs, before fading in the stretch when 5th in a filly starter allowance going 1 1/16 miles in her return to the grass two races back 4/21. Was dropped to this 35k NW3L level in an off the turfer going six furlongs in the mud for her next start, where she came off the inside on the far turn to target the leader, before giving futile chase to that one through the final quarter when 2nd in latest 5/4. Gets back on the grass in this six furlong turf sprint and after finding the 1 1/16 miles too long for her in her lastest turf run, this trip is much more suitable to her. Although she is winless in five career turf starts, she handles the grass fine, fits very nicely in this spot and should run a big race today.
