The National Thoroughbred Racing Association is seeking the public’s help to choose the NTRA Moment of the Year for 2023.
Forte, a vet scratch from the Kentucky Derby, is slated to return to action as the morning line favorite in Saturday’s Belmont Stakes.
On the morning after the Preakness Stakes, the connections of Mage, National Treasure, and others were considering whether to go to the Belmont.
On a troubled Preakness day, National Treasure took advantage of a slow early pace to give jockey John Velazquez his first Middle Jewel.
Trainer Bob Baffert will breeze National Treasure Friday morning prior to making a decision on whether the sophomore will run in the May 20 Preakness.
