We were privileged to be asked to lay out our Belmont Day selections for the Grade 1 stakes on the card for the fantastic fan education site, Hello Race Fans. If you haven’t taken a look at the site yet, you should give it a once over and if, like us, you’re asked the question “I’d like to know more about racing but where do I start?” – you now have the perfect answer.
Without further adieu, here are our picks for today’s grade 1s:

Acorn: ABLE TASMAN
Ogden Phipps: HIGHWAY STAR

We agree a bit too much here I think.
