    2016 BELMONT STAKES GUIDE Presented by: Maryland Jockey Chris Aplin Michael Spector Club Lani to run all Triple Crown races Exaggerator winning the Preakness Frosted training in Saratoga for Met Mile guaranteedtipsheet.com racingdudes.com June 9, 2016 Page 1 of 14 Belmont Stakes Welcome! Thank you for purchasing the 2016 Belmont Stakes Guide presented by Guaranteed Tip Sheet and RacingDudes.com! The Belmont Stakes is the final jewel of the elusive Triple Crown, but will not get as much hype this year since no horse will be going for the Triple Crown. Called “The Test of the Champion,” the Belmont Stakes is run at Belmont Park in Elmont, NY, in early June. It is the oldest of the Triple Crown races and was first run in 1867. The race is the longest of the Triple Crown races ran at the grueling distance of 1½ miles for 3 year olds on the main dirt track. This year’s edition of the Belmont Stakes will be run on Saturday, June 11 at approximately 6:37 p.m. (EDT). This “2016 Belmont Stakes Guide presented by Guaranteed Tip Sheet and RacingDudes.com” will give you the information needed to hopefully make a nice return on one of the biggest days of horse racing of the year. With $7.5 million in purse money over 10 stakes races on the day representing most of the divisions in the sport, the Belmont Stakes day card is the summer version of the Breeders’ Cup on the east coast. This Belmont Stakes Guide will highlight all 10 Stakes races on Saturday, June 11 at Belmont Park and break down each race as follows: 1.

Todo esto se debe al gran trabajo en equipo que se realiza en Firmamento! 2019 ha sido un año atípico para nosotros, ya que fue un período de transición. Se fue Van Nistelrooy a Chile y finalizamos con nuestra producción de Seattle Fitz, dos padrillos que nos dieron grandes alegrías. Hemos comenzado con otro equipo de entrenadores: Alfredo Gaitán Dassié, junto a sus hijos Nicolás y Lucas con quienes estamos muy satisfechos en un año de adaptación mutua. Al igual que el trabajo perseverante de Adrián Reisenauer en City Bell y de la eficaz tarea de nuestros jockeys Leandro Francisco Fernández Gonçalves y Aníbal Cabrera con el aporte, siempre listo, de Luciano Cabrera. También está nuestro permanente recuerdo y amistad para Carly Etchechoury. En la tradicional gala de los Premios Pellegrini que organiza el Jockey Club, fuimos distinguidos en las categorías: Criador del Año, Caballeriza del Año y nuestro criado Sixties Song, de propiedad de nuestros amigos del Stud Savini, obtuvo la de Campeón Adulto. En todos estos casos, por lo realizado en el año calendario 2018. Sobre este punto, me gustaría resaltar la presentación que Criadores Argentinos realizara ante la Comisión de Carreras de San Isidro, en donde solicitaba se considere unificar con el resto de los principales países del hemisferio sur el cierre de las estadísticas anuales, simultáneamente con el cambio de edad cronológica de nuestras crías, es decir, el 30 de junio.
