Who is the favorite in the 2026 Dwyer Stakes?
Ted Noffey is the expected favorite in the Listed $200,000 Dwyer Stakes on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026, with his official morning line TBA. The Todd Pletcher-trained Into Mischief colt went 4-for-4 at 2, winning the Grade 1 Hopeful Stakes, Grade 1 Breeders’ Futurity and Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile.
Bone bruising stopped him in January, and he has logged 12 workouts between Aug. 10 and Oct. 31, according to America’s Best Racing. Pletcher won the Dwyer in 2003, 2007, and 2022. The main rival is Sea Strike (post 9), who won the Curlin Stakes by 8 1/4 lengths at Saratoga Race Course on Aug. 2 before a sixth in the Grade 1 Travers Stakes.
Who is the favorite in the 2026 Mother Goose Stakes?
The official Mother Goose Stakes morning line is TBA. On form, Bodacious Bay is the filly to beat in the Grade 2 Mother Goose: she won the Grade 1 Cotillion Stakes at Parx Racing on Sept. 19, 2026, by 3 1/4 lengths over Kentucky Oaks winner Always a Runner, and she breaks from post 7 under Micah Husbands.
Iron Orchard (post 5) is the field’s other Grade 1 winner, from the Frizette Stakes at 2, but she ran off the board in the Cotillion. Intrepids Fantasy (post 10) is 3-for-3 at Delaware Park, winning her last two by 12 3/4 and 8 1/4 lengths. Per the New York Racing Association, trainer Gary Capuano flagged three firsts on Saturday: one turn, stakes company and racing without Lasix.
What time are the Mother Goose, Dwyer and Pumpkin Pie Stakes?
First post at Belmont Park on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026, is 11:40 a.m. ET. The Pumpkin Pie Stakes is Race 6 (post time TBA), the $175,000 Carle Place Stakes on turf is Race 7, the Dwyer Stakes is Race 8 at 3:12 p.m. ET and the Mother Goose Stakes is Race 9 at 3:43 p.m. ET.
Who is the horse to beat in the 2026 Pumpkin Pie Stakes?
Senza Parole (post 4, Flavien Prat, Chad Brown) sets the standard in the six-horse Listed $175,000 Pumpkin Pie Stakes. She ran a career-best 100 Beyer Speed Figure finishing 1 1/4 lengths second to Grade 1 winner R Disaster in the Grade 2 Gallant Bloom Stakes on Oct. 1, and she is still seeking a first stakes win.
Icona Mama (post 6, Manny Franco) has finished in the top three in her last 10 starts and won the Liberty Bell Stakes at Parx Racing by 2 lengths on Sept. 19, per the New York Racing Association.
Betting Angles for Belmont Park, Nov. 7, 2026
Dwyer Stakes: Ted Noffey has the class edge, but he will be a short price off 365 days without a race. Sea Strike, cutting back to one mile after the Travers Stakes, is the logical price alternative, and Igniter (post 8), a 4-length Ellis Park Derby winner, drops in class after a fifth in the Grade 1 Pennsylvania Derby. A $1 exacta box 6-9 costs $2. A $1 trifecta of 6,9 over 6,9 over 1,3,8 costs $6.
Mother Goose Stakes: Bodacious Bay owns the fastest proven form. Cognition (post 1) offers price value: she won her Oct. 2 maiden at Keeneland by 4 lengths on the lead, Chad Brown won this race in 2025 with Fully Subscribed, and the one-turn trip suits her speed. Intrepids Fantasy fits better underneath than on top given her three firsts. A $1 exacta of 7 over 1,5,10 costs $3.
Pumpkin Pie Stakes: Senza Parole is the win angle; Icona Mama’s 10-race in-the-money streak makes her a strong exacta and trifecta piece. A $1 exacta box 4-6 costs $2.
Races 8 and 9 run 31 minutes apart, so the Dwyer and Mother Goose pair naturally in a daily double.
