A field of six will line up for Saturday's GII Belmont Sprint Championship S., a 'Win and You're In' event for the GI Breeders' Cup Sprint.
Limousine Liberal (Successful Appeal), a narrow winner of the GII Churchill Downs S. for the second straight year May 5, is the 9-5 morning-line favorite. He was third, beaten 5 1/4 lengths, in the GI Metropolitan H. on the GI Belmont S. undercard June 9.
Whitmore (Pleasantly Perfect), fourth with some trouble in the slop in the aforementioned Churchill Downs , came flying late to finish a strong second, beaten a neck, in the GII True North S. at Belmont June 8. He was impressive in capturing a pair of stakes at Oaklawn Park earlier this term, including the GIII Count Fleet H.
“He's doing very well,” trainer Ron Moquett said. “He came back very happy out of the True North and has been working well here at Churchill. We're taking things race by race starting Saturday, but we'll looking forward to it.”
