Racing on the turf at Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y.
The New York Racing Association will host an all-turf Cross Country Pick 5 on Saturday, May 15, in partnership with Churchill Downs.
Live coverage will be available with
America s Day at the Races on FOX Sports. Free Equibase past performances for the Cross Country Pick 5 sequence are now available for download at https://www.nyra.com/belmont/racing/cross-country-wagers.
The sequence kicks off at Belmont Park in Race 8 at 4:50 p.m. Eastern as a loaded field of New York-bred fillies and mares 3-years-old and up look to graduate in a 1 1/16-mile test on the Widener turf course. Trainer Jorge Abreu will saddle a pair of top contenders in second-time starter Acushla and debutante Dixie Kitten.
In a fitting farewell to last year’s spectator-less Kentucky Derby weekend, jubilant crowds in pink poured into Churchill Downs for Friday’s 147th Kentucky Oaks, shaking off a year of pandemic life with the help of mint juleps, flawless skies and temperatures in the 70s.
Limited to 40% to 50% in reserved seating and 25% to 30% in the infield, sometimes-masked but always sharp-dressed fans turned out to enjoy a half-portion serving of normalcy on Louisville s traditional local day at the races, which closes business and schools ahead of the Derby.
While the infield was sparse in some areas, including a few specs of chairs in the third-turn home of historic debauchery, and box seats were spaced out, many loved not having to plow through wall-to-wall crowds in seersucker and long beer and betting lines.
