| Belmont Stakes: Curlin vs Rags to Riches |
|
Belmont Park 9 June: It will be a small field, but this year's Belmont Stakes (G1) promises to be a fascinating race. Curlin, coming off a narrow win against Street Sense in the Preakness, renews rivalry with Hard Spun - who was back in third at Pimlico but had the upper hand at Churchill Downs.
Rags to Riches, a stylish winner of the Kentucky Oaks (G1), also joins in, and that makes this classic really interesting. A half-sister to last year's Belmont winner Jazil, and herself by a Belmont winner, A.P. Indy, she will stay the trip.

| The Manhattan: English Channel in focus |
|
English Channel, unable to make an impact in the Dubai Duty Free (G1) at Nad Al Sheba in March, returns to action in the Manhattan Handicap (G1) at Belmont Park on Saturday.
The son of Smart Strike ran fourth in this event last year, and he now looks set to clash with the old warrior Better Talk Now, the in-form Cosmonaut, the ex-French Grand Couturier and last year's Belmont fourth Steppenwolfer, amongst others.
