Watchmaker: Triple Crown grind leaves Justify vulnerable

Barbara Livingston
Hofburg, under Penny Gardiner, worked a half-mile over the Churchill Downs main track on Sunday.

ELMONT, N.Y. – When a shot for a Triple Crown sweep is alive into the Belmont Stakes, there is absolutely nothing in the game like it. As great as the Breeders’ Cup is, the electric atmosphere sure to be felt Saturday at Belmont Park will surpass anything else you can hope to experience in American racing.

My hope is every racing fan will at least once get to experience Belmont Park on a Belmont Stakes Day with a live Triple Crown opportunity.

Weather: Cloudy
Track: Fast
Temperature: 72

ELMONT, N.Y. – With only four of the dozen or so prospective Belmont Stakes starters training on the grounds at the present time, it’s become a happening of sorts this past week when any of the quartet are sent out for a serious work.
