Dublin to be held out of the Belmont
Trainer D. Wayne Lukas says Dublin won't be entered in the Belmont Stakes, eliminating the chance of any horse running in all three Triple Crown races this year.
Dublin finished seventh in the Kentucky Derby behind Super Saver and fifth in the Preakness behind Lookin At Lucky.
The trainers of Super Saver and Lookin At Lucky have already said their colts are bypassing the Belmont on June 5. The other Derby-Preakness runners Jackson Bend and Paddy O'Prado aren't being considered, either.
It'll be the first time since 2006 no horse competes in all three classics and that neither the Derby nor Preakness winner runs in the Belmont.
The top Belmont contenders now include Derby runner-up Ice Box and Preakness runner-up First Dude.
