Belmont Park will celebrate seven races of which the 151 version of Belmont Stakes stands out, the third and last gem of the Triple Crown also known as the “Test of the Champions”
We will have to wait another 345 days to know if any participant will have the opportunity to go in search of the most coveted feat that only thirteen champions have been able to achieve.
The test will not be very crowded, will not exceed nine contenders who make up the stellar shift of the great Saturday function on June 8.
War Of Will, took the caste and showed with facts that was one of the most affected in the Kentucky Derby by the lock that Maximus Security gave him. The son of War Front surpassed with much authority his adversaries in the Preakness Stakes, for which, surely, he will parade as the favorite of the match.
His rider Tyler Gafallione is inspired and it’s possible that he managed to do the double in this soulless series full of incidents and with dyes of drama.
In all the repetitions that were derived after the disqualification of the “winner” of the Derby, few, if any, we paid attention to the Japanese steed Master Fencer, who finished the last 1/16 (one hundred meters) turned into a real racing car . Yesterday he had a slight stumble at the end of his first training in New York, fortunately it was just the scare and will be ready to take the start, leading in the stirrups to Julien Leparoux.
Tacitus, one of the few survivors of the first Saturday of May, must respond much better to the distance, is training very well and the pair with José Ortíz should pay good dividends.
This is the third in which will turn all the attention of the fans, despite the great surprises that have occurred in other editions, we see very complicated that the winner of the Belmont is another horse that has not been mentioned.
