Saturday’s NY-bred card at BEL will also give three year old turf horses their time to shine, as NY-breds will go a mile and an eighth on the grass in hopes of taking the top share of the $200.00 purse. Other than for a lesser amount in 2020, that purse level has been the norm for the race since 2013.

Maid Of The Mist May Be Dance Time
Moving on, our next race to look at for NY-breds at BEL on Saturday will be the Maid Of The Mist, which sends two year old fillies a mile around the main track. The $200.00 purse is consistent with most of the day’s offerings, but historically the race did have a high point of $250.00.
Picking An Iroquois Winner Is Tricky
With a week to go until the BC, BEL is putting NY-breds in the spotlight with a full slate of action centered around those that call this great state home. In the Iroquois, we will see a field of six fillies and mares going six and a half furlongs on the main track.
