Stately Victor works toward Belmont Stakes

Horseracing Betting Lines

05/25/2010 - Elmont, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Probable Belmont Stakes starter Stately Victor put in a five-furlong workout Tuesday in preparation for the 1 1/2-mile final leg of racing's Triple Crown.

Owned by Thomas and Jack Conway, Stately Victor and exercise rider Derrick Smith went the five-furlongs in 59 4/5 seconds at Churchill Downs' Trackside Louisville training center.

The winner of the Blue Grass Stakes, trained by Mike Maker, galloped out six furlongs in 1:14 1/5. The three-year-old colt was eighth in the Kentucky Derby behind Super Saver.

"He got whacked around, but other than that he came out of it well," Maker said about the Derby. "He hasn't missed a bite of grain and hasn't lost a pound.

"Hopefully we'll draw an outside post (in the Belmont), just slap him on cruise control and grind it out. I thought he ran a credible race in the Derby and I think you throw him out at your own risk. Compared to some of the other horses, if he fires his Blue Grass race back, he's going to be competitive. I think if he runs his Derby race back, he's going to be competitive."

Alan Garcia will again have the mount on Stately Victor in the Belmont Stakes as he did in both the Run for the Roses and Blue Grass Stakes.

"Hopefully the two 'Dudes' (Preakness runner-up First Dude and Lone Star Derby winner Game On Dude) will duke it out and we're not too far behind," Maker said.

The colt has career earnings of $493,213 with two wins in nine lifetime starts. He won the Blue Grass as a 40-1 longshot and was sent off in the Derby at 20-1.

Along with First Dude and Game On Dude, Stately Victor is expected to take on seven other three-year-olds. The expected favorite on June 5 is Kentucky Derby runner-up and Florida Derby champ Ice Box. Others slated to run are Drosselmeyer, Stay Put, Uptowncharlybrown, Make Music for Me, Fly Down and Spangled Star.
