As both Belmont and Los Alamitos wind down, we have several interesting races at both tracks. But the race that appears most interesting to me is Forbidden Apple, which is the 9th at Belmont. We will see the superb Grade 1 sprinter – Disco Partner – stretching out to 1 Mile. Truthfully, I don’t see much real competition for DP. The whole question is how well will he manage the extra quarter. He should be cruising with several lengths advantage as they take on the final segment of the race.
If this horse can stretch his amazing turn of foot to the 1 mile distance, we may be looking at a major contender for the BC Mile, which I assume is the goal. Remember, this horse ran 6 furlongs in the unbelievable time of 1:05 3/5.
