Sightseek Could Be a Sight to See at Belmont

Four of the 10 races on today’s card at Belmont Park are graded stakes in the last major weekend for Breeders’ Cup preps.

The program in New York includes the $500,000 Frizette, the $500,000 Champagne and the $750,000 Beldame, all of which are Grade I races, and the $350,000 Kelso Breeders’ Cup Handicap, a Grade II at a mile on the turf.

Sightseek, owned by Juddmonte Farms and trained by Bobby Frankel, will be the shortest price in the four stakes as she seeks to remain unbeaten at Belmont Park.

The 5-year-old Distant View mare, who has won all five of her races at the track, will break from the rail against five opponents in the 1 1/8 -mile Beldame.

Javier Castellano will ride against Nevermore, Personal Legend, Board Elligible, Society Selection and Storm Flag Flying.

Ready’s Gal, a 2-year-old More Than Ready filly, will try to remain perfect in her third start in the Frizette, Afleet Alex, who is four for four for the Cash Is King Stable and trainer Tim Ritchey, will stretch out to a mile for a first time in the Champagne, and contenders in the Kelso include Stroll, Willard Straight and California shipper King Of Happiness.

Race of the day: Easy Elegance, a half sister of stakes winner Event Of The Year, will make her first start on the grass in today’s fifth at Santa Anita. The race is the first leg in a pick six with a two-day carry-over of $293,304. Jon Court will ride Easy Elegance, a 3-year-old General Meeting miss, for Golden Eagle Farm and trainer Bob Baffert in the $41,000 maiden affair for Cal-breds at one mile.

One for the road: Being a son of Hennessy, Heckle should take to the turf and could go wire to wire in today’s fourth at Belmont Park. John Velazquez will ride the 3-year-old in the $49,000 allowance at seven furlongs.

Exotically speaking: A pick three using Easy Elegance in the fifth, Boston Shuttle, Dominated Day and Jesse’s Gone West in the sixth, and Golden Souvenir, Richebourg and Rudolf in the seventh.

Winners: Previous day/meet total: 4/29. Money: Previous day/meet total: $19.40/$163.90. Total money bet: $136.
