Vitruvian Man is listed at 30-1 odds to win the Belmont Stakes
Vitruvian is the biggest long shot of Saturday's Belmont Stakes race
Vitruvian Man is the biggest long shot in Saturday's race with 30-1 odds.
Rappers Lil Wayne, Lil Yachty, and Rauw Alejandro are each associated with the ownership group for Vitruvian Man, but that doesn't mean he's going to win.
From Bloodhorse:
Adam Kluger, who founded Run Fast Racing along with the aforementioned rappers, teamed with the colt's breeder and co-owner, Glenn Sorgenstein and his WC Racing, because they are bullish on pitching horse racing to younger people in a fun and cool way that excites and energizes them.
While Run Fast Racing has been operating for a few years, it was only within the past couple of weeks it became involved with the Doug O'Neill-trained Vitruvian Man, who finished third in the April 4 Santa Anita Derby (G1) in his most recent start.
O'Neill's success in the Triple Crown cannot be denied.
- Kentucky Derby (2 wins)
- 2012 – I'll Have Another
- 2016 – Nyquist
- Preakness Stakes (1 win)
- 2012 – I'll Have Another
- Belmont Stakes (0 wins)
- His best chance came in 2012 when I'll Have Another won both the Derby and Preakness, but the colt was scratched the day before the Belmont with a tendon injury, ending a Triple Crown bid.
His jockey, Antonio Fresu, is a highly successful rider on the Southern California circuit
