\n Most of the horses getting ready to run in Saturday\u2019s Belmont Stakes are coming off long layoffs \u2014 as long as four-plus months, in the case of Max Player \u2014 because of the coronavirus pandemic shaking up the sport.<\/p>\n

But Sole Volante, true to its name, is coming in hot.<\/p>\n

The 3-year-old bay colt, whose name means flying sun in Italian, won an allowance race just last Wednesday at Gulfstream Park in Florida before flying up to New York on Tuesday night. On Wednesday, it drew the No. 2 post position with the second-best morning line odds at 9-2.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe just came out of that little mile allowance so well,\u201d said Andie Biancone, a part owner with Reeves Thoroughbred Racing and an assistant trainer for her dad, Patrick Biancone. \u201cWe did a little open gallop with him on Monday. We really waited just for him to do the talking \u2014 his behavior, how he came out. He was just so fresh, so happ<\/a>y, so well. We couldn\u2019t not go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before June 10, Sole Volante had last raced on March 7, finishing second in the Grade 2 Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby. But they did not want him to go too long without a race entering the Belmont Stakes, leading to their decision to run a warm-up last week.<\/p>\n

Trying to chart out the perfect schedule for a thoroughbred has been a difficult assignment for trainers in recent months because of the pandemic canceling some races and putting the Trip<\/a>le Crown legs in flux. Andie Biancone said her dad \u201ctook a big gamble\u201d by initially tapering down Sole Volante, but believes the rest has served him well in the long run \u2014 especially with Saturday\u2019s big race being his second in 11 days with jockey Luca Panici.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s just the best he\u2019s ever been right now, fitness-wise and mentally,\u201d Andie Biancone said. \u201cWe wanted to run him before the Belmont because 100 days without a race, they get a little bit itchy. I mean, they\u2019re athletes. We went from preparing to run in the Kentucky Derby to tapering him because of the virus and everything getting moved. So mentally, he was a bit itchy, wanted to do more. <\/p>\n

\u201cOnce he got that race in him, he was just like, \u2018Ah, OK, I\u2019m all right, everything is good.\u2019 They love to run. So mentally and physically he\u2019s just perfect right now. We couldn\u2019t be happier.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
