Rich Strike returns energetic from Monday’s Belmont gallop

RED TR-Racing’s Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike shortened up to 1 1/4 miles for his daily exercise on Monday and left the track wanting to do more in his daily gallop for Saturday’s $1.5 million Belmont Stakes.

Those three colts offer great storylines for the Travers. For one, Rich Strike is within range of […]
