Intriguing Entry
The most intriguing horse running at Belmont on Saturday may well be Forest Jazzy in the seventh, a six furlong allowance N1X on the inner turf. The three-year-old filly galloped to a 24-length victory in her debut at River Downs six weeks ago, earning an 89 Beyer for the effort. (Check out the race on CalRacing and try not to feel sorry for the horse who ran second.) Starting for Bill Mott, the daughter of Forestry (sire of Discreet Cat and Diplomat Lady, the longest shot to ever win the G1 Hollywood Starlet) will try turf for the first time, the surface on which her dam, Pomona, scored a couple of allowance wins and finished second to female turf champion Fiji in the 1998 G2 Santa Barbara.
Results: It might be back to River Downs for Forest Jazzy after the filly set the pace in Saturday’s seventh then tired badly in the stretch as the 3-2 favorite, finishing last.
