Mind Control Snaps Losing Streak With Win In Nerud Stakes At Belmont Sponsored by:
Mind Control (outside) wins the John A. Nerud Stakes by a head over Firenze Fire (inside).
Mind Control had not seen the inside of a winner s circle since March 2020 when he won the Grade 3 Tom Fool Handicap at Aqueduct Racetrack in New York, N.Y. The 5-year-old horse had gotten close in his last eight starts, finishing second to Mischevious Alex in the Carter Handicap at Aqueduct back in April. Sunday, Mind Control dueled with favorite Firenze Fire throughout the seven furlongs of the Grade 2 John A. Nerud Stakes at Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y., never letting Firenze Fire get more than a half-length on him before battling back to win by a head and earn both a trip to the winner s circle and to the Breeders Cup Sprint at Del Mar Nov. 6.

Ashes of Beloved Hudson Valley Horse Will be Buried in Ceremony
A beloved Hudson Valley horse will be brought to its final resting place this week.
Quick Call has been spending his golden years helping rehabilitate prisoners at the Wallkill Correctional Facility but is better known for his legendary racing career.
Born in 1984, Quick Call was a successful thoroughbred, starting in 89 races and winning 16. During his career, Quick Call earned over $800,000 in purse money. His most legendary wins were at the Forego Handicap in 1988 and 1989 and a surprise upset victory at the 1990 Tom Fool Handicap at Belmont Park.
In 2008, the Saratoga Race Course held their inaugural Quick Call Stakes, named for the famous thoroughbred. More than half of Quick Call s victories were won at the famed racetrack, which will now also serve as the horse s final resting place.
