At this point, I'm inclined to go to Belmont Park for a Saturday afternoon of racing. I'm intrigued by the international flavor of both the Jockey Club Oaks and the Jockey Club Derby. Veteran Jamie Spencer is riding a horse in each race for Charley Appleby and Godolphin, Ryan Moore is riding Bolshoi Ballet for Aidan O'Brien, Andre Fabre has entered Harajuku from Group racing in France and John Velazquez is riding the well traveled Tokyo Gold for Satoshi Kobayashi. These should be very interesting handicapping puzzles. That's all I've got for now.
