Race of the Day
In the opener, 6-Remarkable Storm made his first start for trainer John Parisella a winning one at 15-1 last out over the Belmont turf. Should repeat easily on his way to trying the Big Apple Triple later in the year. 7-Groomedforvictory failed over wet track as prohibitive chalk in his latest and switches to the lawn. 5-Extra Zip goes for red-hot Carlos Martin barn.
