There are three Grade 1s at Belmont tonight

There are three Grade 1s at Belmont tonight

Matt Carothers and Simon Bray preview all the weekend's stakes action from Keeneland, Belmont Park and Hawthorne on this week's edition of Blinkers Off.

Keeneland holds three Grade 1s on Saturday night, namely the First Lady Stakes, the Dixiana Breeders' Futurity and the Shadwell Turf Mile.

Aidan O'Brien's Together lines up in the First Lady Stakes, along with former Brian Meehan inmate Theyskens' Theory, who had her first run for new American trainer.

The Shadwell Turf Mile sees a shootout between the American pair Gio Ponti and Sidney's Candy, but O'Brien's Zoffany also goes there with a chance and Ed Vaughan's Dance And Dance, under Jamie Spencer, can't be completely ruled out.

There are another trio of Grade 1s over at Belmont, with the Jamaica Handicap (which will feature Jeremy Noseda's recent Kempton winner Western Aristocrat) and the Frizette Stakes, followed by the Champagne Stakes, the last-named a Dirt race for 2-y-os.

Following two successful bets from three yesterday,Timeform's US team are hoping for the clean sweep in North America tonight......

Ahead of Friday's Opening Day meeting at Keeneland, featuring the Grade 1 Darley Alcibiades Stakes (due off 10:45 BST), Todd T. Schrupp explains why the Kentucky course is a great place to go racing......

Timeform's US team continued in winning form last night and bring you another three bets in North America this evening......
