LOWDOWN: Treat Gently is a mare that battled through the stretch with the boys in the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic at Belmont and settled four fourth at 11-1. She owns graded-stakes wins this year going 13⁄8 miles on turf in the Sheepshead Bay and R.G. Dick Memorial, and has a ton of back class, having run very well two years ago in the French Group 1 Prix Vermeille and Prix de l’Opera.
