Theory Wins Futurity Stakes at Belmont Park
Belmont Park in Elmont, New York played host to the $200,000 Futurity Stakes on Saturday, October 15. A quality group of two year olds took to Belmont Park's dirt track and dashed six furlongs.

The Walk finished fourth while 9-2 second choice Reckling trailed and never threatened.
