After his stretch duality in Kentki Derby, sovereignty and journalism are ready to meet again on Saturday.
However, the two horses adopted different avenues to uplift New York for the final stage of Triple Crown.
Sovereignty, who attended journalism in the final progress to win the Kentaki Derby on 3 May, went to Sharatoga soon after his connection decided against running into the Precness Stakes only two weeks after the Derby. Journalism handlers sent their calf to the Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, where a 3 -year -old child pulled out a surprising victory, rally below five lengths below the stretch below five length to take the other jewelry.
The two winners highlight an area of eight horses for Saturday’s Belmont. Others ready to challenge the pair include Baza, who finished third in the Kentaki Derby; Rodriguez, who missed the darby and prekness due to an injured leg; And Hill Road, who won the Peter PAN Stax at the Aqueduct Racetrack in New York on 10 May.
The sovereignty, trained by Bill Mot and riding by junior alvardo, will break from the second gate. Journalism trained by Michael Macarthi, with Umeberto Rispoli Anoard, attracted the seventh gate in Monday’s post position draw.
Mot, who did not choose to send his other darby winner-country house in 2019-said that his calf performed well during a five-week trimming.
“He is training well, eating well, and he feels good … he has maintained his physical goodness quite well since the derby,” Mot said earlier this week.
Journalism trainer is just hoping that his horse can get a clean ride. Prekness’s victory collided with stretch despite journalism as Rispoli worked with a pair of horses.
In Luisville, the horse was considered an ideal draw in the middle of the field, but journalism and Rispoli fought at the beginning of the bodie due to horses inside the horses.
McCarthi said earlier this week, “I would like to do those hundred yards again.” “I want to take a clean brake and find myself closely close to the speed behind the wire.”
Audsmakers made journalism a favorite 8-5 morning line for Saturday, with sovereignty 2–1 next.
The third choice on 4–1, trained by John Shirrefs, is the third choice. He will break the sixth, just inside journalism. The flavion is the Prat Jockey, and it was the present, then the goal -oriented, which joined the precise with the Risepoli.
Chad Brown Train Hill Road (11-1), which is trying to become a 10th horse to win Peter Pan and Belmont. He attracted the inner gate and will be riding by Erad Orties Junior.
Rodriguez (6–1), who won the Wood Memorial in the aqueduct in April, broke the third. He trained by Bob Befurt and riding by Mike Smith.
The four-time Belmont winner, trainer Tod Fletcher has two horses in the race, unheard (30–1, fourth post) and crude (15–1, fifth). Heart of Honor (30–1, eighth), which is trained by Jamie Osborn, is also in the region.
Saturday’s Belmont is the second straight in Saratoga, while the name track on Long Island undergoes reconstruction of $ 455 million. This year’s race will also run 1 1/4 miles instead of traditional 1 1/2 miles due to the track layout of Saratoga.
