The Stewart Manor
$175.00 For Fillies Two Years Old
6 Furlongs – Turf
Belmont Park – November 14, 2026

The Stewart Manor is a relatively new race on the NY stakes calendar having been run only five previous times. This will be the first time the race has been run at Belmont Park with all of the earlier editions taking place at Aqueduct. The purse has been increased for the second year in a row and stands at $175.00 on offer to speedy 2 year old fillies with an affinity for the grass. There has been rain recently in the New York area but the current forecast calls for clear skies and a firm turf course for the full field of ten whose names passed through the entry box.

1. Creepy Point (TwinTowersRacing, F. Prat)
The homebred daughter of freshman sire Tipping Point is on a two race winning streak. She broke her maiden in her fourth start and followed that up with a win in a N1X allowance at Belmont Park on the grass at today’s distance. She hit a 90 SRF speed figure for the first time with that win and seeks to extend the winning streak to three. 

2. Cooperthehooper (Rock Creek, J. Lezcano)
She is a nose away from being a stakes winner just missing in The Bolton Landing at Saratoga. She ran a good sixth in the G3 Matron making up ground in the stretch in a crowded twelve horse field. She faces another large field today and her running style suggests she may need to find a little bit of luck along with racing room to get a good trip. 

3. True Life (Ajm Stables, D. Davis)
True Life is a winner of two of her three lifetime races and is a nose away from being undefeated. She will make her stakes debut for her new barn, her third in her short career. She was claimed for $16.00 out of her second race and then was bought for $40.00 in early October following an allowance win. Ajm Stables gives her a class test and you can’t argue with that. She has done nothing but be there at the wire in every start so why not?

4. Collection Deal (Lemax Farms, K. Davis)
Collection Deal broke her maiden in her second start way back in April by an impressive five lengths. She has struggled since not having hit the board in three subsequent starts. She showed speed and pressed the pace in The Bolton Landing before fading late and finishing fifth. She only lost by a length that day but she did finish behind Cooperthehooper and Undeniable Lady who she will face again today. In her last race she finished seventh going six furlongs when she was taken off the pace in the G3 Matron. Gets another chance.

5. Loth Cat (Alydar Stables, J.J. Castellano)
Loth Cat broke her maiden in her second start in June at Monmouth. She then made her turf debut in a Parx N1X and won again. After that, the barn tried her at a mile in the G3 Surfer Girl Stakes where she came across the wire in sixth place. She did not show her usual speed in that effort and now she cuts back to six furlongs and sprinting which is where she has found her success. 

6. Ideal Lucy (D J C Racing Stables, K. Carmouche)
Ideal Lucy has won half of her four lifetime races. All of her races have been on the grass and the last three were routing and that is where her two wins came from. She cuts back to sprinting for the first time since her debut which was a good runner up effort so there is reason to believe she has the versatility to make a good run at it here. 

7. Harbor Truth (T Boy Racing, M. Franco)
Another who has won two of four starts where all of her lifetime races have been on the grass (see Ideal Lucy to her inside). She has been a turf sprint specialist thus far, winning a maiden claiming race by four lengths and then following that up with a N1X allowance win at Monmouth Park. She was then claimed out of an optional claiming race where she finished third and new trainer T Boy Racing won a six way shake and took her back to the barn for $12.50. Three straight 90 SRF figures in her young career. Something tells me not to ignore but she is being asked to go six furlongs for the first time and might find it hard to carry her speed to the wire against this group. 

8. Rare Allure (Noblepark, A. Fresu)
Noblepark homebred filly is already a stakes winner in only three career starts.. She won her first two races including The Bolton Landing at Saratoga over the summer where she beat several that she will face today. She went out to the west coast to try routing on the grass and finished fourth in the G3 Surfer Girl Stakes. She came from far back and made up a ton of ground late in that one so routing does not seem beyond her scope but she cuts back to sprinting again and if she continues her stretch running style she will have to find some holes.

9. Undeniable Lady (Nakamura Stables, E.J. Zayas)
She is the most experienced juvenile in the field with seven previous races. She has been victorious twice and has hit the board in five of those seven starts. She was third in The Bolton Landing behind both Rare Allure and Cooperthehooper but that was a neck loss so all three were right there on the wire and that sets up an anticipated rematch. She was ninth in the G3 Matron but only lost by a length so it was better than it looked. Has the speed to stay out of trouble and that alone could help her turn the tables. 

10. Calling Rosy (Greyhound, S. Marin)
Calling Rosy is undefeated but she has only gone to the gate one time. Since that MSW win in August. She was purchased for $20.00 a couple of weeks after that maiden score and will now make her first start for her new barn. She is making her stakes debut, is scheduled to start with a change in her adds (dropping Bute) and on top of that she draws the far outside gate. Will have to watch one to see how she passes this class test and fares in new hands. 

I think Collection Deal has the post and the tactical speed to position herself for a stalking trip to turn the tables on Rare Allure in this one. Rare Allure will get the nod for the place spot followed by Undeniable Lady and Harbor Truth.
