The countdown to the Belmont officially has begun and Animal Kingdom is turning heads with his first official work yesterday clocking an impressive :47.76 for a half mile. "He went super," said Graham Motion, trainer of the Kentucky Derby winner. "I thought he might go a tick slower but I'm not surprised be did what he did."
Nehro turned in :50 4/5 for an easy half mile and is reported to be looking magnificent. Mucho Macho man worked the same distance in :59 2/5. Master of Hounds is en route from Ireland and the pace of life is quickening around the backstretch.
The post position draw will be streamed live Wednesday from 11-11:30 so we will get an official look at the field. Things are heating up weather wise on the East Coast with Weds. and Thurs. predicted to be in the high 90's but things are supposed to cool off for Saturday and don't be surprised if there are a few showers.
It looks to be a very exciting race.
