Brown's contingent breeze for Stars & Stripes Racing Festival

Trainer Chad Brown sent out eight horses to work on the Belmont Park turf on Sunday morning, with some of the contingent breezing for the final time before the Stars & Stripes Racing Festival.

"Everyone worked good and breezed well. I was very happy with it," Brown said.

Uni breezed in company with Fifty Five, going five furlongs in 1:00.85. The British-bred Uni is expected to make her North American debut in the Grade 1, $1 million Belmont Oaks.

"She's done well since she arrived and each week I see her improving so I'm really looking forward to seeing her," said Brown.

Fifty Five, who along with Uni is one of four horses expected to run in the Oaks for Brown, is a New York-bred who will make her first start since a runner-up finish in the Grade 3 Wonder Again on June 8.

In the Oaks, Brown will also be represented by French Oaks runner-up Sistercharlie, who arrived from Europe on Saturday, and Wonder Again winner New Money Honey, who worked a half-mile in 49.07 seconds over the main track on Saturday in company with Brown's lone Belmont Derby contender Ticonderoga.

Brown said he has no immediate plans for Wake Forest, who breezed five furlongs in 1:00.55. The 7-year-old will be looking to bounce back from a ninth-place finish in the Grade 1 Woodford Reserve Manhattan on Belmont Stakes Day June 10. Future plans were also uncertain for Wake Forest's workmate Time Test, who earned an official time of 1:00.56.
