BELMONT STAKES RACING FESTIVAL

 
 


 
 
****************************************************
◗The clinic Mike Smith and Bob Baffert put on during the Belmont Stakes undercard was something to behold. Smith won five stakes, four of them for Baffert, and their partnership peaked with Mor Spirit’s 6 1/4-length domination of the Met Mile.
◗To the surprise of absolutely no one, European horses finished one-two-three-four in Friday’s Belmont Gold Cup going two miles on turf. International competition is cool and everything, but this race basically amounted to a $400,000 welfare payment to European horsemen.
