Belmont Update



Yesterday, as you can see from the above video, was a quiet day at Belmont as most of the contenders in the Belmont Stakes this Saturday had worked on Sunday and were taking the day off. Apparently, Dullahan put in a killer workout on Sunday as did Union Rags at Fair Hill. One has to wonder whether or not Union Rags will adjust to the depth of the Belmont track after training on the polytrack at Fair Hill. Many, however, consider polytrack the closest thing there is to turf, and you know what they say about horses coming off the turf and running on the dirt: watch out.

Wednesday is the day all contenders will be stabled in the "Security Barn" but don't watch for many more strong workouts before the race--just some light gallops and perhaps some paddock schooling.

Should be an interesting week.
