Saturdays Grade 2, $150,000 Vagrancy Breeders Cup Handicap at Belmont Park is loaded with speed. In fact every horse in the field but one is a frontrunner or at least a very near the pace type. Tar Heel Mom is the morning line favorite, having just won the G2 Distaff Handicap last month, but she will have company on the lead with Lady Alexander and Hold That Prospect, Rightly So, and even Malibu Prayer. Rightly So has won five of eight races but at the statebred stakes level she hasnt been quite good enough for top honors. Hold That Prospect is a speedball and might have trouble getting that final sixteenth of a mile against this level of competition. Lady Alexander too has only won non-graded stakes races up to now. Malibu Prayer is coming off two straight wins in mile races but her last win came in November of last year, so she will have to deal with a layoff, but Todd Pletcher is the trainer so if anyone can get her ready it is him. Saarlight has alot of talent, and is making her second start off of a layoff today, having finished second by a nose in her 2010 debut. Hour Glass will likely be the farthest back in the field, and a likely hot pace might favor her. Still her figures are not as strong as others but she has the right style for this race.
