With three weeks in between the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes, there hasn't been a ton of buzz in the racing world, but there is great racing.
While the Belmont Stakes doesn't have the Triple Crown on the line, it will host a rematch of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness winners. The Belmont Stakes will also be the first time the first seven finishers in the Kentucky Derby will also be in the starting gate in Elmont, New York. With three weeks in between the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes, there hasn't been a ton of buzz in the racing world, but there is great racing.
To occupy everyone's time, Animal Kingdom and Shackleford have been steadily working up to their June 11th tilt and great racing has filled the calendar. Take a look and follow Eclipse Sportswire photographers as they take you from Fair Hill in Maryland, to the Epsom Derby, French Derby and even to the Yasuda Kinen in Japan. It was a busy week with racing interesting enough to warrant a visit at Epsom from the Queen Mum herself to watch her colt Carlton House compete.
