Unbeaten but untested Mindframe is fast enough to threaten Mystik Dan, Seize the Grey and Sierra Leone in the final leg of the Triple Crown on Saturday
Mindframe, left, with Irad Ortiz Jr. aboard, leads an undercard race before the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on May 4, 2024, in Louisville, Kentucky. When the Belmont Stakes starting gate slams open Saturday, most eyes will be on the horses still basking in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes limelight.Mindframe won’t be hard to see. He’ll race under part-owner Mike Repole’s silks, which are bright blue and orange, and break from post 10 in a 10-horse field, closest to the camera.
Betting on races for 3-year-olds, though, is betting on potential, and Mindframe has plenty of that. His 1:21.72 clocking for 7 furlongs earned speed figures of 103 from Andy Beyer and 106 from Brisnet , and 108 from Equibase .Seize the Grey is the other horse coming in with a two-race winning streak. Drawing the No. 1 post position gives him a straight shot at the lead, though it’s not certain he’ll clear Dornoch and it’s unlikely he’ll get the easy front-running trip he had in the Preakness.
Sierra Leone rallied from 18th to second in the Derby, and he or third-place Forever Young could have beaten Mystik Dan if they hadn’t been playing roller derby down the stretch. As a Derby runner who skipped the Preakness, he fits the profile of the winners of five of the past 10 Belmonts held on a normal schedule. He’s the 9-5 favorite.
