2024 Belmont @ the Big A Stakes - Breeders' Cup Preview

Get ready for an action-packed preview of the Belmont at the Big A Stakes leading up to the Breeders' Cup! Our video covers the key races at Aqueduct, including the Futurity Stakes, Miss Grillo, Frizette, Jockey Club Derby, and Belmont Turf Sprint. We’ll go through each race, highlighting the fields, post positions, jockeys, trainers, and facts to help with your betting strategies.
Miss Grillo Stakes (G2): Trainer Chad Brown aims for his 10th win in the $200,000 Miss Grillo, a 1 1/16-mile turf race for juvenile fillies. Brown's trio includes Virgin Colada (Flavien Prat), Opulent Restraint (Irad Ortiz Jr.), and Marvelous Madison (Manny Franco). Virgin Colada, starting from the rail, comes off a second-place finish in the P.G. Johnson at Saratoga. Opulent Restraint, breaking from post 8, enters off a second-out victory at Saratoga, while Marvelous Madison debuts at this distance after winning a sprint at the Spa. Other contenders include stakes-winner Shifty (Jose Ortiz) from trainer Mark Casse and undefeated May Day Ready (Frankie Dettori).
Frizette Stakes (G1): Chad Brown's Senza Parole (Irad Ortiz Jr.) headlines this $400,000 one-mile dirt race for 2-year-old fillies. The daughter of Gun Runner impressed with a dazzling debut win at Saratoga and is favored to secure a "Win and You’re In" berth for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies. The lineup also features The Queens M G (Dylan Davis), trained by Saffie Joseph Jr., and graded stakes winner Icona Mama (Kendrick Carmouche). This field of 10 includes other notable fillies like Social Fortress (Jaime Rodriguez) and two Saratoga debut winners, Paradise City (Manuel Franco) and Another Cleeshay (Junior Alvarado).
Jockey Club Derby Invitational Stakes (G3T): This $500,000 turf race for 3-year-olds at 1 3/8 miles features a rematch of the top three finishers from the Saratoga Derby. Carson's Run (Dylan Davis), the likely favorite, takes on Legend of Time (Flavien Prat) and Deterministic (Joel Rosario) once again. Carson’s Run, trained by Christophe Clement, has nearly $1.3 million in earnings and seeks another stakes victory. Other entrants include El Rezeen (Irad Ortiz Jr.), a rising star from Todd Pletcher's barn, and Godolphin’s Legend of Time, who returns fresh after his Saratoga Derby effort.
Belmont Turf Sprint Stakes (G3T): Christophe Clement's Senbei (Manuel Franco) and Jorge Duarte Jr.'s Nothing Better (Jorge Ruiz) headline this six-furlong turf sprint for 3-year-olds and up. Senbei, a stakes winner, looks to rebound from a third-place finish at Monmouth, while Nothing Better brings a strong local record, with three wins on Aqueduct turf. The lineup also includes Outlaw Kid (Flavien Prat) and Maya Prince (Joel Rosario), as well as cross-entrants Axthelm (Dylan Davis) and Determined Kingdom.
Futurity Stakes (G3): Todd Pletcher sends out a formidable duo in this six-furlong turf sprint for 2-year-olds, featuring "Win and You’re In" status for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint. Mentee (John Velazquez), a full-brother to champion Fierceness, impressed with a track-record debut at Aqueduct. His stablemate, Gate to Wire (Irad Ortiz Jr.), showed versatility in his debut victory at Saratoga. Mike Maker’s Under Who’s Radar (Kendrick Carmouche) and the unbeaten Chasing Liberty (Ricardo Santana Jr.) are among other key entrants. The race also features the speedy I’m Otter Here (Jaime Torres) and maiden winners In the Chase (Joel Rosario) and Epitaph (Junior Alvarado).
