A head is all that separates Adios Charlie from being undefeated this season. On July 2, the improving 3-year-old colt will be one of the favorites to take the Dwyer Stakes at Belmont Park, as he will meet six sophomore rivals in the 1 1/16-mile race.

Victor's Cry returns to defend his title in the Shoemaker Mile Stakes July 2 at Hollywood Park. While he's no lock to go favored in a well-matched turf field, he's going to get much more respect than he did in springing last year's 21-1 shock.
