Belmont Park – Elmont, NY
Race #6 – 4:36 PM EDT – $300k Dwyer Stakes G3: 1-Mile on the dirt with a field of 7 entries. Trainer Aiden P. O’Brien has two entries in this race. #1 Seahenge and the #6 Mendelssohn who is coming off a very disappointing outing in the 2018 Kentucky Derby finishing dead last.
