SEVEN SOPHOMORE TURF FILLIES VIE IN G1 GARDEN CITY

ELMONT, N.Y. – Two Grade/Group 1 winners from diverse backgrounds head a field of seven 3-year-old fillies in Saturday’s 35th running of the Grade 1, $300,000 Garden City on the turf at Belmont Park.

Samitar, winner of the Group 1 Irish 1000 Guineas in May at the Curragh, and Karlovy Vary, whose biggest victory came when she wired the field at 15-1 in the Grade 1 Ashland at Keeneland, both will be looking to rebound off third-place finishes in their most recent outings.
