Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 10, 2018 Journalists Share Posted May 10, 2018 Core Beliefs (Quality Road), a distant third at 41-1 behind GI Kentucky Derby winner and ‘TDN Rising Star’ Justify (Scat Daddy) in the GI Santa Anita Derby Apr. 7, has been installed as the 2-1 morning-line favorite in Saturday’s GIII Peter Pan S. at Belmont Park. The Gary Broad colorbearer has made all four of his previous starts for trainer Peter Eurton at Santa Anita, including a sharp maiden win two starts back Mar. 8. “He’s doing very well,” Eurton said. “We’re very proud of him, no complaints. We were very pleased with his last race, as it was his first race against winners, and now especially against the caliber of horse we now know we were running against in Justify.” Eurton added, “The ideal would be for him to win, come out of it liking the track and then go on to the [GI] Belmont [S.], but we’re going to take it one race at a time for now.” Just Whistle (Pioneerofthe Nile), a good second behind subsequent GI Florida Derby runner-up Hofburg (Tapit) at Gulfstream Mar. 3, earned his diploma last time at Keeneland Apr. 14. Federico Tesio S. winner Diamond King (Quality Road) will be scratched and entered in the GI Preakness S. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
