Scan Is Among Favorites in Remsen at Belmont Park

Scan, a 2-year-old colt who might be headed for California after today, is one of the favorites in the $200,000 Remsen at Belmont Park.

A stablemate of Fly So Free, Scan won the Cowdin at Belmont the day after Fly So Free won the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile to virtually clinch the divisional title.

Scotty Schulhofer, who trains both colts, will have a division of horses in California this winter, and Scan is expected to be part of that group. Fly So Free and the rest of the Schulhofer stable will begin next year in Florida.

Others running in the 1 1/8-mile Remsen are Lost Mountain, who finished third in the Breeders’ Cup, five lengths behind Fly So Free, after stumbling at the start, and Southern Sign, who was the winner at 23-1 in the Young American at the Meadowlands. Eight horses are entered.

Other races today include the $150,000 Budweiser Breeders’ Cup for fillies and mares at Churchill Downs; the $100,000 Hillsborough Handicap for fillies and mares on grass at Bay Meadows, and the $150,000 Robert F. Carey Memorial Handicap, a grass race at Hawthorne.
