Starters out of the gate for the Belmont Stakes (Bud Morton)

Everyone comes back ok!

And as usual, you can count on Barclay Tagg for a good quote, he said of Tale of Ekati who came away with a gash:

He was fine until he got stepped on. He has a gash. I don’t know how bad it is. I know he is walking sore on it. Anytime a 1,000-pound horse steps on your heel at 40 miles an hour, it’s not pretty. I don’t know how long the gash will take to heal. Each gash and each horse is different. It should heal in about a month, but you never know.
