Winter Memories lived up to her role as the 3-5 favorite Monday afternoon at Belmont Park, sweeping wide on the turn and rolling to an easy three-length victory over Celestial Kitten in the 17th running of the Grade 2, $150,000 Sands Point. Ridden by Jose Lezcano, Winter Memories eagerly went after Arch Support as she and Mystical Star led the field of six 3-year-old fillies through a dawdling opening quarter in 26.11. Racing in third as the half-mile went in 51.41, Winter Memories began moving up on the far turn and spurted clear by three lengths when given her cue once into the stretch. Hand-ridden to the wire, the roan daughter of El Prado completed the 1 1/16 miles in 1:42.61 over the firm inner turf course.
