TCI Insider - VIDEO PREVIEW
Delaware Oaks, A Gleam, Man O' War stakes

Across the Pond:  The JULY CUP at Newmarket and the GRAND PRIX de PARIS at Longchamp sponsored by Juddmonte are the two marquee races overseas.  SEPOY (Aus) is one of the favorites in the JULY CUP, and he's likely not to mind the expected soft ground.  Not so the case for two others in the race, BATED BREATH and STRONG SUIT, both of whom will not find the soft ground to their liking.

Other action on Saturday:  Horses running Saturday include overseas invader, TREASURE BEACH (Galileo) in the MAN O' WAR at Belmont;  GRACE HALL (Empire Maker), AMIE'S DINI, and AUBBY K (Street Sense) line up for the DELAWARE OAKS; LADY OF SHAMROCK (Scat Daddy) will try to avenge her loss last time out to MY GIGI in the AMERICAN OAKS at Hollywood Park; SWITCH will try to get back to her form of last year in the A GLEAM at Hollywood Park
