SATURDAY, JULY 7, 2018 LOADED FIELD SET FOR BELMONT OAKS ANALYZE IT & CATHOLIC BOY A group of 10 talented sophomore fillies are scheduled to line REMATCH IN up Saturday for a salty renewal of the $1-million GI Belmont Oaks.

June 7, which is considered the local prep for this event. Breaking her maiden in France, La Signare was privately purchased and transferred to Brian Lynch, finishing second to the reopposing Toinette (Scat Daddy) in her debut for that barn at Keeneland Apr. 11 prior to her front-running upset score in the Wonder Again. "We'll see what the pace scenario is," Lynch said. "If there's no pace, I don't think we'll try and get too creative. We'll let her do her thing again. I don't know if they'll let her get away with pedestrian fractions like she got away with in the first half [in the Wonder Again]. But if there's a bit more pace, I wouldn't be surprised if she can sit off of them a little bit anyway.@ Cont. px Catholic Boy (L) & Analyze It | Chelsea Durand IN TDN EUROPE TODAY >TDN Rising Star= Analyze It (Point of Entry) looks to return to MASAR OUT; ECLIPSE OPENS UP winning ways in Saturday=s $1.2-million Belmont Derby after With Masar a late withdrawal, Saxon Warrior and Roaring losing his perfect record by a neck to Catholic Boy (More Than Lion lead the Classic generation in the G1 Coral-Eclipse.

Stalking the aggressively ridden Catholic Boy throughout the early stages of the Pennine Ridge, the bay overtook his rival in the stretch and attempted to shake loose, but Catholic Boy determinedly re-rallied to post a narrow upset. "I thought he ran into a really good horse in Catholic Boy in the Pennine Ridge," Chad Brown told the NYRA notes team. "He ran very well. Our horse had no excuse. He might've had a little time between races where I could've had him a little better. It's not an excuse, he had every chance to win, but I believe this horse can move forward now that he has some recent fitness in him.@ Winner of the grassy GIII With Anticipation S. last term, Catholic Boy spent the first half of his sophomore season on the dirt after closing out 2017 with a dominant score in the GII Remsen S. on the Aqueduct main track in December. Runner- up in the GIII Sam F.
