Updated Tickets After Scratches:
SAR 3 (Mount Vernon, 8.5T) – Post Time 1:45 PM ET
Primary – #4 FIVE G
Secondary – #6 National Archive, #5 Being Betty
Horse Comments:
#4 Five G (5-2) won the Cash Run and G2 GP Oaks in 2025 and was second in the G3 Honeybee. All of those races were on dirt and she won her first start this year at one mile on the main track as the chalk at GP Feb. 13 (OC-62.5k – 1st lasix). She battled on the pace and finished up the track in the G1 Apple Blossom April 11. She graduated by 4 lengths in a NY-bred MSW turf route (November 2024) and landed the place in the Tepin at 8T. Her winning rider John Velazquez stays put and she should be forwardly placed.
#6 National Archive (8-1) has won three turf routes and Wednesday’s rider Flavien Prat guided her home in each of her wins including a local allowance score last summer. She was an even third May 1 and that was her first start in more than five months.
#5 Being Betty (9-2) is a 5-time turf winner with exacta finishes in her last three starts. Irad Ortiz, Jr. takes the call and a stalking trip is expected. She is 0-for-3 with zero top three finishes at SAR.
