BREEDERS’ CUP CHALLENGE SERIES, Live From Belmont Park
The Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series continues today with the G1 Runhappy Carter Handicap from Belmont Park. The Carter, traditionally held at nearby Aqueduct, was postponed this year due to the pandemic before being added to the Belmont Park spring/summer stakes schedule.
A strong field of 11 contenders will compete for not only a win in today’s race, but also an automatic entry into the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Sprint to be held this November at Keeneland. Be sure to tune-in to FS1 for coverage beginning at 3:00 p.m. ET!

The winning design will also be produced and sold in the Official Breeders’ Cup Store. All Breeders’ Cup proceeds from the sale of the winning t-shirt will be donated to Breeders’ Cup Charities to support COVID-19 relief efforts.
RED-HOT MIND CONTROL READY FOR NEXT CHALLENGE
Trainer Greg Sacco’s multiple Grade 1 winner Mind Control is primed and ready for his next big challenge in today’s $250,000 Runhappy Carter Handicap (G1) at Belmont Park. Mind Control earned his first top-level victory in the 2018 Hopeful Stakes (G1) at Saratoga against fellow 2-year-olds. Nearly a year later, he returned to Saratoga and championed the H. Allen Jerkens Stakes (G1) in what became his final start of 2019.
Co-owned by Madaket Stables and breeder Red Oak Stable, he has won both 2020 starts – the Toboggan Handicap (G3) and the Tom Fool Handicap (G3) – and has won four of six total attempts at the Carter’s 7-furlong distance. Learn more about Mind Control’s competitors ahead of today’s race!
