Fields for Dwyer, New York Stakes coming together

Unstoppable U, who in his third career start finished sixth in the 1 1/2-mile

Belmont Stakes, will likely return to the races June 30 in the Grade 2 Dwyer at

Belmont Park. The gray son of Exchange Rate will have his first breeze since the

Belmont either Saturday or Sunday in preparation for the 1 1/8-mile Dwyer, said

Ken McPeek's assistant, Lars Becdelamotte.

"He's been doing great since the Belmont," said Becdelamotte of Unstoppable

U, who is owned by Susan McPeek and Mojallali Stables, Inc.

"He was more mad than anything else. He missed the break and got tangled up

with another horse and it was the first time he'd ever been behind horses, first

time around two turns, 1 1/2 miles … I thought he ran a pretty good race,

considering everything."

Unstoppable U broke his maiden over a sloppy six furlongs at Aqueduct on

March 31, and returned on April 27 to take a one-mile optional claimer at

Belmont.

"We'll see how he does in the Dwyer," said Becdelamotte. "If he runs well,

then he can take the next step to other stakes races."

Unstoppable U is expected to face Teeth of the Dog, a 3 3/4-length winner of

the Easy Goer on the Belmont Stakes undercard, and Preakness fourth-place

finisher Zetterholm. Monarchic and Morgan's Guerilla are also probable, with

Done Talking questionable.

Belmont Park will present two graded stakes in addition to the Dwyer next

weekend: the Grade 2 New York on June 30 and the Grade 3 Bed o' Roses Handicap

on July 1.

The New York -- for fillies and mares at 1 1/4 miles on turf -- is expected

to serve as the North American debut for  Banimpire, a five-time Group stakes

winner in England and Ireland who was purchased for approximately $3.1 million

at auction in Ireland last November by new owner Martin Schwartz.

Slated to face the 2011 Group 1 Irish Oaks runner-up are Aruna, Hit It Rich,

and Principal Role, the top three from Belmont's Grade 2 Sheepshead Bay on May

26; Mystical Star, who was third under the wire in the Sheepshead Bay before

being disqualified and placed eighth; The Underling, a distant third in the

Heatherten overnight stakes on May 2 at Belmont; and Upperline, winner of two

straight Grade 3 races. Laughing is questionable.

Tamarind Hall will aim for a repeat victory in the Bed o' Roses, a

six-furlong dash for fillies and mares. Now trained by David Fawkes for owner

Brinker Hill Farm, Tamarind Hall won the 2011 Bed o' Roses for Jeremiah

Englehart and owner Eklektikos. Catch a Thief, Catinatree, and Island Bound are

slated to face Tamarind Hall, with Aquitania, C C's Pal, and Honchis'n Ponchis

also under consideration.
