Monzon, who comes off a sixth-place finish in the Peter Pan, remained on course for a start in the June 11 Belmont Stakes with a six-furlong workout at Sagamore Farm in Maryland on Tuesday morning.
BELMONT STAKES: Replays, contenders, and news updates »
According to trainer Nacho Correas, Monzon was timed in 1:16 for one lap over the training track at Sagamore, the legendary farm once owned by Alfred Vanderbilt II and now being revitalized by Kevin Plank.
“He’s doing great,” Correas said by telephone. “He worked like a monster.”
Correas said Monzon completed his final quarter mile in 23.80 seconds, and final furlong in 11.60 seconds.
“He will work again next Tuesday, most likely, but this was my key work for him,” Correas said.
Correas said Monzon will ship to Belmont Park on the eve of the Belmont Stakes, the final leg of the Triple Crown.
“The night before or very early that morning,” he said. “If you travel during the day, there’s lots of traffic and lots of heat.”

RED SHOT came up empty in the drive after a stalking trip in his first start back from a long layoff in a tough $25K seller last Friday. Treat that effort as a workout, and give him a shot to redeem himself in this much easier $8K dash under Stein, who was aboard for both of his '13 scores. CROWNS DYNASTY wasn't up to snuff during the winter on the dirt at Calder and Gulfstream, after being claimed from a victory on the Poly here Dec. 13. His wide draw is a negative, but his fitness edge on most of these could propel him into a top-three placing.
