\n In the simplest of years, training a racehorse is \u201clike putting a puzzle together,\u201d according to Hall of Fame trainer Mark Casse.<\/p>\n

But training a racehorse during the coronavirus pandemic for a Triple Crown that will be run in a different order, over a different stretch of time and at different distances?<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year it\u2019s been putting a puzzle together with no edges or a picture,\u201d Casse said Monday. \u201cIt\u2019s been crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Casse will take crazy, because while things may look and feel different this year, the Triple Crown is still scheduled to happ<\/a>en in full, beginning with Saturday\u2019s Belmont Stakes.<\/p>\n

Instead of being the last leg of the Triple Crown in a span of five weeks, it will be the first leg in a span of nearly four months. Rather than being the longest race at 1 \u00bd miles with two turns, it will be run at 1 \u00b9\/\u2088 miles with just one turn \u2014 shorter than the Kentucky Derby and Preakness. And the sound of 90,000 fans going wild will be replaced with only hoofs beating down on the dirt and the call of the race echoing off the empty grandstands.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s any question that at the end of 2020, you can put a big asterisk by the whole year, and the Triple Crown is certainly part of that,\u201d said veteran trainer Todd Pletcher, whose horses have won two Kentucky Derbys and three Belmont Stakes. \u201cIt\u2019s a nontraditional Triple Crown series<\/a>. I don\u2019t think it would take away from the accomplishments of a single horse if they were able to win one, two or three legs of it. These are still very difficult races to win. But it\u2019s clearly not the same as trying to do it all in five weeks at three different distances culminating with a mile and a half in the Belmont.\u201d<\/p>\n

Typically, the first leg of the Triple Crown features the biggest field \u2014 with 19 horses in last year\u2019s Kentucky Derby. This year, it is expected to begin with an eight- or nine-horse field at the Belmont Stakes.<\/p>\n

It was initially expected to include at least one Bob Baffert-trained thoroughbred, but both of his candidates have since been declared out \u2014 first Nadal, then Charlatan, both because of injuries. Another Grade 1 winner, Maxfield, opted to pass on Belmont because of the reconfiguration and instead ramp up with an eye toward September\u2019s Kentucky Derby.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had spoken to people three or four weeks ago and said that in many ways, I felt that the Belmont Stakes this year was going to be the Kentucky Derby \u2014 the first time the best horses in training were going to be meeting each other, the West Coast and the East Coast and in between,\u201d said Jack Knowlton, owner of betting favorite Tiz the Law. \u201cClearly, because of the injuries of Bob\u2019s two horses and now with Maxfield out, there isn\u2019t quite the star power that we all expected.\u201d<\/p>\n

Instead, the revamped schedule and distance has allowed other horses a chance they might not have otherwise gotten in a typical Triple Crown season.<\/p>\n

Dr. Post, one of Pletcher\u2019s two entries along with Farmington Road, likely would not have been ready for any of the Triple Crown races had they been run as normal. Casse\u2019s Tap it to Win was not even nominated for the 2020 Kentucky Derby, after undergoing surgery in the offseason, and likely wouldn\u2019t even be racing in the Belmont Stakes if it hadn\u2019t been shortened by three furlongs.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s the way the puzzle has been pieced together in this strange year, and those that are involved in it are not complaining.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just happy that we\u2019re gonna have a Belmont and we\u2019re gonna have a Preakness \u2014 at least I hope we\u2019re going to have a Preakness \u2014 and a Derby,\u201d Casse said. \u201cSo whatever order it\u2019s in, I\u2019m fine with that.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
