Man o' War Stakes
On September 10, Better Talk Now was entered in the Man o' War Stakes at Belmont Park. Reunited with Dominguez, he was the lukewarm 3-1 favorite in a competitive field that included King's Drama (winner of the Sword Dancer), Angara (winner Beverly D) and Relaxed Gesture (second in his last three starts). Better Talk Now settled near the back of the pack for the first mile then mounted a strong run down the stretch to win by a neck over King's Drama.
