Three graded stakes are slated at Belmont Park on Sunday –  the Beldame (G2), a stepping stone to the Breeders’ Cup Distaff (G1); the Futurity (G3), a “Win and You’re In” for the Juvenile Turf Sprint (G2); and the Knickerbocker (G3).

One day after Gun Runner celebrated his first Grade 1 winner with Echo Zulu in the Spinaway (G1), the leading freshman sire accomplished an historic double when Gunite upset Monday’s $300,000 Hopeful (G1).
