William K. Warren’s Peter Pan Stakes (G2) winner Charitable Man will race in the 141st running of the $1-million Belmont Stakes 2009 (G1) on Saturday, June 6, race horse trainer Kiaran McLaughlin confirmed Wednesday.
“I spoke with Mr. Warren this afternoon, and we’re running,” said McLaughlin. “The pros outweighed the cons, and there were very few cons. I have nothing but respect for Rachel Alexandra, if she comes, and Mine That Bird, but Charitable Man is doing great. He’s bred to go a mile-and-a-half, he’s 2-for-2 on the track, and he’s a fresh horse.”
Hall of Fame race horse trainer Nick Zito and owner Robert V. LaPenta, who teamed to win the Belmont Stakes last year with Da’ Tara, will have two Belmont Stakes starters in the 1 1/2-mile Belmont Stakes 141 — Miner’s Escape and Brave Victory.
