Commanding Curve to skip Preakness, aim for Belmont
Kentucky Derby runner-up Commanding Curve will bypass the $1.5 million
Preakness on May 17 and will next race in the $1.5 million Belmont Stakes on
June 7
Terry Finley of West Point Thoroughbreds confirmed the plans via the racing
syndicate's Twitter account after an earlier report was published at
Bloodhorse.com.
"Even before (the) Derby, (trainer) Dallas (Stewart) said he thought
(Commanding Curve) would be tough over 'Big Sandy,'" Finley revealed in the
tweet.
A son of Master Command, Commanding Curve finished 1 3/4 lengths behind
California Chrome in the Kentucky Derby.
A maiden winner in his fourth career start at Churchill Downs last November,
the colt finished sixth in the Risen Star and third in the Louisiana Derby, both
at Fair Grounds, prior to the Run for the Roses.
