Weyburn To Skip Kentucky Derby, Point For Belmont Stakes Sponsored by:
Gotham Stakes winner Weyburn
Gotham Stakes winner Weyburn will not contest the Kentucky Derby on May 1, racing manager Robert Landry told the
Daily Racing Form on Monday. Instead, the 3-year-old son of Pioneerof the Nile will start in the G3 Peter Pan Stakes at Belmont Park on May 8 as a prep for the Belmont Stakes on June 5.
“The right thing for the horse is to miss the Derby,” Landry told
DRF. “I think (trainer) Jimmy (Jerkens) and I are on the same page with that. I think this horse is going to mature a lot more. The family history is they get better with age.”
