Free Equibase-provided past performances will be available for races that  are part of the America's Day at the Races broadcast and can be accessed at www.nyra.com/belmont/racing/tv-schedule.

The Empire 6 sequence will kick off in Race 4 at 2:09 p.m. Eastern with an overflow field of New York-bred maidens travelling one mile on the Widener Turf Course. Klickitat, a 4-year-old First Samurai chestnut trained by Jimmy Jerkens, is listed as the 2-1 morning-line favorite.

The third leg features another full field as New York-bred fillies and mares sprint seven furlongs on the Widener turf course in Race 6 at 3:19 p.m. Moana's Tale, trained by Danny Gargan, looms large dropping back into restricted company following an off-the-board effort in the Grade 3 Sweetest Chant at Gulfstream Park.

Race 7 [3:52 p.m.] features a field of ten $16,000 claimers 3-year-olds and upward traveling 1 1/16-miles on the main track. Bobbyfromthepalm graduated by 9 ¾-lengths last out on December 29 at the Big A for trainer George Weaver and is listed as the 3-1 morning-line choice off the lengthy layoff. Violent Delights, trained by Tom Albertrani, and Prince of New York for Jeremiah Englehart will merit consideration after running second and third respectively last out on June 18 at the same class going a one-turn mile on Big Sandy.

Clement, currently second in the trainer standings at the Belmont spring/summer meet, will again saddle the morning-line favorite as the 5-2 Dream Chasing will look to graduate following an even fifth last out at this level on June 25 where she endured an awkward start. Painite, the 7-2 second choice for trainer David Donk, will cut back significantly in distance following a fourth in a 1 1/16-mile event and ninth in a nine-furlong test, both at this class on the Belmont turf.

The Empire 6 requires the bettor to select the first-place finisher of the final six races of the card. On non-mandatory payout days, if one unique ticket exists, then 100 percent of the net pool, plus the jackpot carryover if applicable, will be paid to the winner.
