Preakness winner Seize the Grey is likely running in the 1st Belmont at Saratoga
BALTIMORE (AP) — Even without a Triple Crown on the line, the upcoming Belmont Stakes is one of the most anticipated horse races in the sport’s history.
That’s because it’s being run at Saratoga Race Course for the first time, part of a two-year hiatus in upstate New York while the Belmont’s longstanding home in New York City is torn down and rebuilt.
“When you’re in sports, you get to do these unique things, and having a Belmont up in Saratoga, that’s pretty unique for us,” New York Racing Association President and CEO David O’Rourke said. “Everyone up there has leaned so far into this event that it’s just really cool. It’s hard to put a word to the level of excitement up there except the fact that everyone’s all in.”
Probably including Preakness champion Seize the Grey, who ended Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan’s Triple Crown bid with a wire-to-wire victory Saturday. His 88-year-old Hall of Fame trainer, D. Wayne Lukas, said it was likely Seize the Grey would go.
