Belmont at Saratoga hasn't raced since June 7, 2026. We publish free picks for every Belmont at Saratoga card — below are the picks from that last card.
Race 1
Allowance · 1 1/16 mi · Turf
A sprawling 13-horse allowance turf mile opens the card with legitimate top-end talent scattered throughout — Cosmic Candy Girl leads on TrackWiz ratings but several horses are capable of making this a genuine battle from wire to wire.
Cosmic Candy Girl tops the TrackWiz ratings at 82.71 in this field and draws the services of Kendrick Carmouche, a jockey who knows how to navigate a crowded turf field. At 6/1 on the morning line, she offers real value given her position atop our model — that's a horse the market may be underestimating. Her rating advantage over most of this field is significant, and on a turf route where tactical positioning matters, Carmouche gives her every chance.
Neshika rates second in the field at 76.31 with a 20% career win rate — that's a horse who hits the board consistently and doesn't beat herself. Flavien Prat takes the mount, and his presence alone on a turf route at Saratoga is worth noting. She's a logical place anchor in exotics at a fair 9/2 morning line.
Boomington brings a 33% career win rate into this spot — the highest of any horse in the top tier of this field — and trains with George Weaver, who knows how to place horses for success. Johnny Velazquez aboard adds another layer of confidence. At 7/2, she's not a barn-burning price, but as a show component in multi-race wagers she's very appealing.
Race 2
Maiden Special Weight · 1 1/16 mi · Turf
First-time starters and lightly raced maidens collide in this sprawling 16-horse turf route — trainer and jockey pedigree loom large when past performances are thin, and Chad Brown's presence with Factory Setting gives that runner an immediate edge in the narrative.
Factory Setting tops the TrackWiz ratings at 76.88 in a wide-open maiden field and gets the Chad Brown–Flavien Prat combination, which is about as good as it gets on the Saratoga turf. Brown's operation has a long history of debuting well-prepared turf maidens at this meet, and Prat's ability to find position in a big field is a genuine asset. At 10/1, if the talent is there — and our model suggests it is — this is an overlay worth playing.
Ticket to Ride rates second in the field at 73.09 and shows the field's best average speed figure at 55, which matters in a race where many rivals haven't established figures at all. Trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. consistently puts first-time starters in position to run well, and Sahin Civaci gets the call. The 8/1 morning line makes her an honest place target in a tricky race.
Amazing Gracer clocks in with a 61.64 rating and an average speed figure of 54 — both of which rank among the best in this field. H. James Bond has two horses in this race, and having multiple runners often signals stable confidence. Jaime Rodriguez takes the mount and has shown the ability to get these types home in a big-field turf sprint.
Race 3
Allowance Optional Claiming · 7 fur · Dirt
Scottish Lassie comes in as a heavy 4/5 morning-line favorite on the dirt over 7 furlongs, but TrackWiz ratings tell a sharply different story — there may be a significant overlay lurking at the top of this small, six-horse allowance optional claiming field.
Filly Freedom leads all runners with a TrackWiz rating of 85.62 and posts a 33% career win rate — numbers that scream value against a 4/1 morning line when the favorite is rated considerably lower by our model. Trainer Chad Brown has two horses in this spot, and when Brown saddles Manuel Franco, that's a combination that wins at a high clip at Saratoga. The pace scenario over 7 furlongs on dirt should suit a horse with her profile.
Limes Don't Lie is worth respecting at 6/1 with a TrackWiz rating of 79.35 and an eye-catching 40% career win rate — the best in this field. Dylan Davis gets the call for Chad Brown, who again has the stable confidence of running two horses in one race. Her profile at this distance on dirt sets up well, and if the pace is honest she can sweep by late.
Roman Grace provides a logical third wheel with a 30% career win rate and the second-best average speed figure in the field at 55. Ricardo Santana Jr. takes the mount for Linda Rice, a trainer who regularly places horses competitively in this class range. At 6/1, she's a sound show bet and a useful exotics piece if you're structuring a trifecta.
