Posted on Tuesday, May 26th, 2009
One of the Belmont Stakes contenders Mr. Hot Stuff worked a bullet 5 furlongs over Polytrack at Keeneland Race Course Tuesday morning in preparation for a start in the 141st running of the $1-million Belmont Stakes 2009 on Saturday, June 6 at Belmont Park.
The son of Tiznow Mr. Hot Stuff was caught in 1:01.00, the fastest of 12 at the distance. It was Mr. Hot Stuff’s third work at Keeneland since finishing 15th in the Kentucky Derby (May 2), which was his first start on dirt.
“He went very well, easy enough, and there was plenty left in the tank” said race horse trainer Eoin Harty from California. “He’s fit and ready to go.”
Mr. Hot Stuff, owned by WinStar Farm, will have the services of Hall of Fame jockey Edgar Prado in the Belmont Stakes at 1 1/2 miles. Jockey Edgar Prado was aboard Belmont Stakes winners Sarava (2002) and Birdstone (2004).
Race horse trainer Eoin Harty said he and Mr. Hot Stuff will most likely arrive in New York on June 3.
