The Belmont - Mubtaahij

10 years 4 weeks ago - 10 years 4 weeks ago

I'm sure MDK's horse moves into his Belmont Barn today to prepare for next months Belmont Stakes over 2400m.

A grade1 for 3yo's run on the dirt..

First run in 1867 on the left handed( obviously ) Belmont dirt track.

Secretariat is its most famous and fastest winner(1973)



Overseas winners are few and far between with the last overseas winner from Canada in 1998

It's actually quite a tricky bit of planning by mdk , Freshen his horse up for the Race on the 6th hoping Smerican Pharoah and the others have a hard race etc

Plus Mubtaahij not got the speed of the yanks over 1900m ?

1st 3 home in the KD line up

I'm sure the last 4 winners of the Belmont either finished unplaced in the KD or never ran in the KD

Yes Bob does sound part of a Master Plan that Baldrick would be proud of.

Excited to be there. I heard it is madness at the track when a horse is going for the triple crown. Not sure if I want to witness history or just enjoy a days racing in comfort.
