Prime Cut breezes for Belmont Stakes

Posted: Tuesday, May 31, 2011 4:35 PM

Donald Adam’s Prime Cut breezed five furlongs in 1:03.60 on Tuesday at Churchill Downs to prepare for a possible start in the $1-million Belmont Stakes (G1) on June 11.

Prime Cut finished third behind Alternation in his most recent start in the Peter Pan Stakes (G2) and was runner-up to Derby Kitten in the Coolmore Lexington Stakes (G2) prior to that at Keeneland Race Course. 

Exercise rider Dane Noel was aboard the Bernstein colt on Tuesday for trainer Neil Howard. Prime Cut covered the distance on a track rated as fast in fractional splits of :13.40, :26, and :38.20 and galloped out six furlongs in 1:16.40.

“Everything went good,” Howard said. “I was just looking to go just a nice five-eighths—not too fast, not too slow. I thought he went well, finished good, and galloped out strong. He’s been running—he’s just come off the Peter Pan—so he’s a pretty fit horse.”

Howard said Prime Cut remains probable for the Belmont Stakes, but that a final decision is pending.

“He’s a possibility,” Howard said. “We’re still going to take another couple of days before we make a decision.”

Prime Cut has won two of seven starts and has earned $123,685.
