Clement prepares several for Belmont Stakes undercard

ELMONT, N.Y. – Several of trainer Christophe Clement’s stakes horses arrived in New York from South Florida this week and are being geared up for races on the June 9 Belmont Stakes undercard.

Lull, winner of the Grade 3 Honey Fox at Gulfstream Park in her seasonal debut, will be trained up to the Grade 1 Just a Game going a mile.

“She came in yesterday, had her first day back on the main track today, and looks well,” Clement said Friday.

Clement has won the Jaipur the last two years, with Pure Sensation in 2016 and Disco Partner in 2017. Both were defeated in their 2018 debuts, but both are under consideration for this year’s Jaipur, also on June 9.

“Disco Partner came back a little bit sore behind,” Clement said. “Since his race in Kentucky he’s had an easy time. He seems to be back and is being trained for the Jaipur.”

Pure Sensation finished second in an allowance at Gulfstream on April 13 and is now back at Belmont with the Jaipur or the $200,000 Pennsylvania Governors Cup at Penn National on June 2 his next race.
