Chad Brown seeks another Sands Point win

By NY Hot List Staff | October 13, 2022

If it’s a graded turf stakes for fillies, then Brown figures to be the color of the day. Trainer Chad Brown will seek his fourth straight win and fifth in six years in the Sands Point Stakes when he sends out Eminent Victor. Saturday’s 1 1/8-mile turf stakes at Aqueduct attracted a very competitive field of 10 (including a main track only entrant) including last year’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf winner Pizza Bianca.

Here’s the Hot List picks for the Sands Point Stakes

The $200,000 Sands Point Stakes (G2) – Belmont at Aqueduct, Saturday, Race 9

(6) Hail To (A) won an allowance from the 11 post-position after a poor trip earning a career best speed figure as she returns to stakes racing. (3) Eminent Victor runs for Chad Brown who has dominated this race recently. Last time she had trouble in the Lake Placid (G2) after having finished second by a nose in the Lake George (G3) at Saratoga. (9) Pizza Bianca will make her first start since running at Royal Ascot in June. In her first five starts she never ran worse than second with two stakes wins including the 2021 Breeders’ Cup. (2) Vergara is in fine form right now with a win in the Dueling Ground Oaks at Kentucky Downs and a second in the Ontario Cotillion (G3) at Woodbine for Graham Motion.
