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).

After the scratch of Dunbar Road, Horologist turned Sunday’s $116,400 Summer Colony S. at Saratoga into a one-horse show.

A closing second to Letruska in last summer’s Shuvee S. (G3), Royal Flag overtook another gutsy pacesetter, Horologist, in time in Sunday’s $200,000 renewal at Saratoga.
