Dublin to bypass Belmont
By Marty McGee
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Dublin has been withdrawn from consideration for the 142nd Belmont Stakes on June 5, meaning no horse will have run in all three Triple Crown events this year. Trainer D. Wayne Lukas said early Thursday at Churchill Downs that Dublin will wait for the fall classics and that withdrawing the colt wasn t an easy decision, because he s really doing good.
Lukas noted that Dublin has had five races in 12 weeks and he wanted to give the colt a little break before gearing back up for major races such as the Haskell, Jim Dandy, or Travers before ultimately pointing for the Nov. 6 Breeders Cup Classic at Churchill.
