Performance
Angel of Empire won the Arkansas Derby, Risen Star and finished 2nd in the Smarty Jones before that. At the Kentucky Derby he finished 3rd.
Angel of Empire is expected to thrive on the distance at Belmont.
"This is as far as he'll ever go. At the end of the mile and a quarter (in the Kentucky Derby) he was running and I think a mile and a half is right up his alley," said Jason Loutsch, an owner and racing manager for the Albaugh stable. "It's an exciting time. I think this race fits him perfectly. We could have skipped it and pointed for a race at Saratoga but you only get one year when you can run in the classics. They're important and we're excited about being in this race.
"The big million dollar question is who can get a mile and a half. It's a tough race but we're excited for the opportunity to see if he belongs."
