Well, its not the Kentucky Derby, but it will still be interesting to watch. Once again, I just hope the undercard comes up juicy.

Agreed. I think it was the Smarty Belmont... that undercard was one of the sickest ever!

Paul Reddam's Great Hunter, who finished 13th in the Kentucky Derby will miss the June 9 Belmont Stakes (gr. I) after suffering a chipped ankle in his right front leg, trainer Doug O'Neill said Saturday.

“He'll be out of commission for a few months,” O'Neill said of the son of Aptitude, who was scheduled to ship to New York for the third leg of the Triple Crown after turning in a strong five-furlong work in 1:00 4/5 over the Cushion track at Hollywood Park on Thursday.

Any Given Saturday can't get 10 furlongs, how is he going to get 12? Nobiz is going to the Dwyer instead.

Did Matz ever give much consideration for pointing Chelokee towards the Belmont? Sorry once again if there was a big news article about Chelokee's status and I missed it.

While it wouldn't have been the worst placement to go in the Belmont I think Matz just knows the horse isn't quite that fast to compete with the big boys (or girl). If he takes the High Cotton route he can build up a nice resume while running in spots he can win.

I think Matz is perfectly happy to try to pick off some late-season races that will help breeding value. Remember that Chelokee's owner, Centennial Farms, also owns Vitruvius, a swift allowance winner at Aqueduct who was scratched from the Peter Pan. Matz probably knows that Chelokee COULD be able to develop into a Travers horse with the right progression.

It could be a great summer for Centennial Farms between Chelokee, Vitruvius, and Corinthian.
