Engage Wins Futurity Stakes at Belmont Park
Belmont Park in Elmont, New York was the scene of the $150,000 G3 Futurity Stakes on Saturday, October 14 - a six-furlong dash for horses two years old. Woodford Racing's overwhelming 1-2 race favorite Engage proved too much for the five-horse field, running away with an impressive 3 1/2 length victory. 9-2 third betting choice Barry Lee finished an OK second with Mojivation, who was sent off as the 5-2 second choice getting in for third. Red Peril was fourth and Smooth B completed the order of finish. Happy Like a Fool scratched.
