ELMONT\u00a0, N.Y. \u2013 Kentucky Derby winner\u00a0Orb<\/strong>\u00a0continues to flourish at his home track, jogging Tuesday morning at 6 a.m. and leaving Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey pleased with the way the colt is coming into Saturday\u2019s 145th<\/sup>\u00a0running of the Grade 1, $1 million Belmont Stakes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s got to be a lot more comfortable than shipping to Kentucky or to Maryland; from here, all he has to do is walk from here [the barn] to there [the track],\u201d said McGaughey. \u201cHe walks through the paddock every morning and trains over the racetrack every day, which he did as a 2-year-old and 3-year-old, except when we were in Florida . He\u2019s been here for three weeks, and I think it has to be a help not only mentally but being familiar with the footing as well. He\u2019s done well here and trained well here.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Similarly, McGaughey thinks his own familiarity with Belmont Park , and that of jockey Joel Rosario, will be to Orb\u2019s benefit.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSome jockeys don\u2019t ride here on a regular basis, and they might not be as familiar with what\u2019s going on,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen they turn down that backstretch, they\u2019ve got a long way to go. A lot of them, I think, will move a little early.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs long as I\u2019ve been up here, I understand my surroundings and I understand Belmont Park ,\u201d he added, \u201cand I think Rosario is going to be the same way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 1 \u00bd-mile Belmont is at a distance which McGaughey feels is within Orb\u2019s scope.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s by Malibu Moon, who\u2019s by A.P. Indy, who would run a distance of ground and gets horses who run a distance of ground, and he\u2019s out of a deep female family that\u2019s all bred for go long on the dirt,\u201d he said. \u201cHe\u2019ll run all day, and I don\u2019t think that\u2019s going to be a problem.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As many as 15 will line up for the Belmont . In addition to Orb and Preakness winner\u00a0Oxbow<\/strong>, likely for Wednesday\u2019s post position draw are\u00a0Revolutionary<\/strong>,\u00a0Unlimited Budget<\/strong>,\u00a0Overanalyze<\/strong>,\u00a0Palace Malice<\/strong>,\u00a0Midnight Taboo<\/strong>,\u00a0Will Take Charge<\/strong>,Freedom Child<\/strong>,\u00a0Vyjack<\/strong>,\u00a0Incognito<\/strong>,\u00a0Always in a Tiz<\/strong>,\u00a0Frac Daddy<\/strong>,\u00a0Golden Seal<\/strong>, and\u00a0Giant Finish<\/strong>. Frac Daddy and Golden Seal were expected to arrive at Belmont Park today.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Grade 1 Preakness Stakes winner\u00a0Oxbow<\/strong>\u00a0led the D. Wayne Lukas-trained contingent off the van early Monday evening at Belmont Park , where they will be stabled at the barn of trainer Barclay Tagg. Joining Oxbow were Rebel Stakes winner\u00a0Will Take Charge<\/strong>, who is also bound for the Belmont Stakes, as well as\u00a0Optimizer<\/strong>, who will compete in the Grade 1, $500,000 Woodford Reserve Manhattan.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEverything was fine. No problems,\u201d Lukas said of the arrival. \u201cThey trained well, had good energy this morning. Everything was in good order. They just jogged. They\u2019ll gallop this week. Everything\u2019s done now. Just keep them happy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On Oxbow, Lukas said, \u201cHe\u2019s a tough little horse. The Preakness took nothing out of him. He\u2019s full of himself. He\u2019ll be tough again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Todd Pletcher\u2019s Belmont Stakes quintet had a quiet morning as they walked the shedrow at Belmont Park .<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey all went to the gate yesterday, so there wasn\u2019t a lot of action around here,\u201d
\nsaid Michael McCarthy, Pletcher\u2019s assistant.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Late Monday afternoon, Pletcher announced that the filly\u00a0Unlimited Budget<\/strong>\u00a0and the lightly raced\u00a0Midnight Taboo<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 both owned by Mike Repole \u2013 would join Dogwood Stable\u2019s\u00a0Palace Malice<\/strong>, WinStar Farm\u2019s\u00a0Revolutionary<\/strong>\u00a0and Repole\u2019sOveranalyze<\/strong>\u00a0in the race.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOveranalyze is a Grade 1 winner, and he beat Oxbow by 5 \u00bc lengths in the Arkansas Derby,\u201d said Repole. \u201cHe ran a sneaky-good race in the Kentucky Derby where he was shuffled back but ran on, and I don\u2019t think he loved the track.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think this one year where I think the fillies are as good as the boys,\u201d the owner said of his decision to run Unlimited Budget in the Belmont . \u201cShe ran a good race when she was third in the Kentucky Oaks, and two fillies out of that race, Midnight Lucky and Close Hatches, came back to run 1-2 in the Acorn. Unlimited Budget is a large filly, and when the 15 horses come out you\u2019ll think she\u2019s one of the colts. She also has a good mind for a mile and a half where she\u2019ll settle.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMidnight Taboo was talented as a 2-year-old before he went back to the farm,\u201d the owner added. \u201cHe won his first race back, and he was a really good second in his next race, a race he was never going to win. I think he would have won the Easy Goer [on the Belmont undercard], but you get one chance in your life to run in the Belmont Stakes, and he\u2019s getting his chance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlimited Budget will have Rosie Napravnik aboard while Garrett Gomez will ride Midnight Taboo. Already confirmed were Javier Castellano aboard Revolutionary, Hall of Famer John Velazquez on Overanalyze, and Hall of Famer Mike Smith aboard Palace Malice, whose blinkers will come off for the Belmont .<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pletcher, who saddled five horses in the Kentucky Derby, won the Belmont in 2007 with the filly Rags to Riches, who was the first of her sex to win the race since Tanya in 1905.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jockey\u00a0Rosie Napravnik<\/strong>, who rode Five Sixteen to a fifth-place finish in last year\u2019s Belmont , looks to make history Saturday as she teams with the filly\u00a0Unlimited Budget<\/strong>\u00a0for this year\u2019s \u201cTest of the Champion.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Napravnik, who was aboard Mylute in the Kentucky Derby (5th<\/sup>) and Preakness (3rd<\/sup>), will be the first woman to ride in all three legs of the Triple Crown in the same year. She is bidding to join Julie Krone, who won the 1993 Belmont with Colonial Affair, as the only woman to win a Triple Crown race.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Only 22 fillies have run in the race; of them, three have emerged the victor: Ruthless, who won the first Belmont in 1867, Tanya (1905) and Rags to Riches (2007).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s exciting,\u201d said Napravnik of the possibility of a woman jockey winning the Belmont aboard a filly. \u201cI think it\u2019s great to bring some attention to the sport.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Napravnik, who rode Unlimited Budget to a 3 \u00be-length victory in the Grade 3 Rachel Alexandra Stakes on February 23 at the Fair Grounds, is looking forward to being reunited with the Street Sense filly.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s a big, strong filly, and obviously she\u2019s been training well,\u201d said Napravnik of the Repole Stable color-bearer, who is 4-0-1 from five starts, with her only loss a third-place finish in the Grade 1 Kentucky Oaks. \u201cWith a big field, it\u2019s going to be a tough race for everyone. But I don\u2019t think [she will be intimidated] \u2013 she looks more like a colt. Plus, she can sit close to the pace, or close into it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Belmont Stakes contender\u00a0Freedom Child<\/strong>\u00a0had a quiet morning on Tuesday, going out shortly after 7 for what trainer Tom Albertrani called a routine gallop.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was just an uneventful jog and gallop, his normal routine,\u201d Albertrani said. \u201cHe jogged back to the three-quarter pole, turned around and galloped a mile and a half. It went well. He couldn\u2019t be better.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A chestnut son of Malibu Moon, Freedom Child is coming off a command performance in winning the Grade 2 Peter Pan on May 11, leading from gate to wire to win by 13 \u00be lengths under jockey Luis Saez, who will be back aboard for Saturday\u2019s Belmont.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t be more happy with the horse right now,\u201d Albertrani said. \u201cHe\u2019s in great condition, and he\u2019s giving us all the right signals. Now, we just have to lead him over there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Albertrani said he wasn\u2019t concerned about the prospect of having 15 horses for the Belmont , which equals the largest field in the race\u2019s 145-year history, set in 1983. The last time as many as 14 went to the post was 1996.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not going to bother us,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re not going to be looking at more than two or three in front of us. The rest will hopefully be behind me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Multiple graded stakes winner\u00a0Vyjack<\/strong>\u00a0put in a strong final tune-up for Saturday\u2019s Belmont Stakes this morning, breezing five furlongs in 59.00 seconds, handily, according to NYRA clockers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 3-year-old Into Mischief gelding was aggressively hand-ridden down the stretch of Belmont \u2019s main track by trainer Rudy Rodriguez, who pulled Vyjack up shortly after crossing the wire.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI just wanted him to work the right way, and he did what we asked him to do,\u201d Rodriguez said. \u201cI was happy with the way he did it, nice and comfortable. He looked good, and he seemed happy. He looks like he came back good, not blowing or anything. Beautiful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Heavy rain on Monday forced Rodriguez to postpone Vyjack\u2019s final breeze until Tuesday, and it was delayed further after the trainer got caught in morning traffic on the way to Belmont from his base at Aqueduct, not stepping on the track until 9:24 a.m.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s got very, very good energy,\u201d Rodriguez said. \u201cYesterday, we tried to graze him a little bit and he was bucking and kicking. He\u2019s been very happy. Maybe he likes Belmont . I hope so.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Vyjack most recently finished 18th<\/sup>\u00a0in the Kentucky Derby.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe looked like he handled the track better than Churchill,\u201d Rodriguez said. \u201cHe looked a lot more smooth. Over there, he changed leads a couple times, but that track was a little hard for him. He\u2019s doing great. Now, we have to hope he brings his \u2018A\u2019 game.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A winner of his first four career starts, including the Grade 2 Jerome and Grade 3 Gotham at Aqueduct, Vyjack will be ridden for the first time in the Belmont by jockey Julien Leparoux.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Giant Finish<\/span><\/strong>, who was 10th<\/sup>\u00a0in the Kentucky Derby,\u00a0<\/strong>turned in his final serious work for the Belmont Stakes this morning, breezing a half-mile on the main track under Hall of Fame jockey Edgar Prado, who will be aboard for Saturday\u2019s race.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The chestnut colt, who arrived from the Fair Hill Training Center and had Monday\u2019s scheduled work postponed, went out shortly after the renovation break at 8:45 and was caught in 49.04 by NYRA clockers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe did it nice and easy to the pole, and I let him out a little bit,\u201d said Prado of the Tony Dutrow-trained colt. \u201cHe got over the track well and finished up good. It was really a maintenance work.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prado, who won the inaugural running of the $500,000 Penn Mile on Saturday, is a two-time winner of the Belmont , taking the 2002 edition with Sarava and the 2004 running with Birdstone.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Anthony Bonomo, Jr., son of\u00a0Always in a Tiz\u00a0<\/strong>co-owner Anthony Bonomo and assistant to trainer Dominick Schettino, said a decision would be made late Tuesday afternoon whether to run the son of Tiznow in the Belmont Stakes or the $150,000 Easy Goer Stakes for 3-year-olds at 1 1\/16 miles on the undercard Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe haven\u2019t decided yet,\u201d Bonomo Jr., said. \u201cToday, I\u2019ve got to meet with my father later on this afternoon because entries are tomorrow. We\u2019ll have a final decision by late afternoon.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter Always in a Tiz\u2019s last race [a ninth-place finish in the Grade 1 Wood Memorial], he was a little tired; he needed some time to regroup,\u201d he added. \u201cWe finally backed off him a little bit. We\u2019re trying to figure out the weather conditions and what the future forecast looks like and the way he\u2019s coming into himself, do we want to put him in a big race right away or put him in the future races right away or slowly work him into the future races and aim him toward the end of the summer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) will match all funds donated on track Saturday, Belmont Stakes Day, to the American Red Cross and the Thoroughbred Racing Association of Oklahoma for victims of the massive tornado that struck Moore , Okla. on May 20. Dozens of people were killed by the twister, which had winds between 200 and 300 mph.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Taking a direct hit from the F5 tornado was the 106-acre Orr Family Farm, also known as Celestial Acres. The training facility was said to be filled with thoroughbreds and quarter horses stabled for the meet in progress at Remington Park . More than 75 horses were believed killed by the tornado.<\/span><\/p>\n
