A handful of graded stakes, including the Grade 1, $700,000 Man o’ War, are on tap this Saturday at Belmont Park.

Set for 1 3/8 miles on the turf, for 4-year-olds and up, this year’s edition of the Man o’ War has drawn an impressive field, including the well-travelled Ziyad, and the ultra-consistent Gufo.

Trained by Graham Motion for Wertheimer et Frere, Ziyad, a six-year-old son of Rock of Gibraltar (Ire), chases his first Grade 1 crown and second graded title.
