Belmont is now the first Triple Crown race in the coronavirus era

Seven weeks late and almost 800 miles away from the traditionally respected start of time, Triple Crown 2020’s first leg finally arrived.

This year the horse race modified by the coronavirus, the last will be the first, and shortened, because the Belmont bet is set to run on Saturday (5:42 a.m.) at 1¹ / ₈ mile. Commonly known as “Test of the Champion,” for a 1½ mile run at the end of a tiring five-week span, the 152th edition of the New York jewel will never be like before. Contests and fans may be lost, but the return of the big race will still be a welcome sight for those involved.

“We never dreamed we would find ourselves in Belmont to be the first leg of Triple Crown, but it was cool enough to be someone who races in New York all year and has it here in our home court,” said Linda Rice, coach of Max Player.

There is no Kentucky Derby or Preakness to set the stage for the Belmont Stake and Triple Crown candidate, but Tiz the Law will enter the day as a forbidden favorite (lines 6-5 in the morning). The 3-year-old player from Sackatoga Stables, the only multilevel betting winner on the field, competes to become the fourth New York-born horse to win the race, and the first since Forester did it in 1882.

Tap to Win and Left Left is a speed determinant that can adjust the speed at the start of a one-way race, with Tiz the Law and Dr. Post there in a stalking position, while Sole Volante, Max Player and Farmington Road are among the closes of the group. But given all the uncertainty and irregularity in the race schedule and training ahead of Saturday, what is expected can be reversed when the gates open.

Tiz the Law last raced on March 28, winning the second bet of class 1, but veteran coach Barclay Tagg made peace with a long layoff.

“There’s not much we can do about it, for one thing,” Tagg said. “Another thing, nothing seems to bother him in any way. I asked him this morning, he said, “Don’t worry about that.”

Victory with Tiz The Law will give Tagg and Sackatoga Stables a redemption 17 years after the decisive last Saturday at Elmont. They teamed up with Funny Cide in 2003 and won Belmont Stakes from Triple Crown, but finished third on a rainy June day. Saturday’s win won’t make up for that, but for a group with a small cage, returning to this stage is absolutely not given.

“That means a lot,” Tagg said. “We don’t get top competitors all the time. He looks like a good horse. Hopefully he is as good as our expectations. “

Manny Franco will make his Belmont Stakes debut riding Tiz the Law, but Tagg is not worried about the 25-year-old tackle under pressure – even if only four of the last 20 Belmont Stakes favorites actually win the race.

“He will have more pressure on him if he does something wrong,” Tagg said with a laugh. “We love Manny, Manny is good to us. He’s a very, very good rider. “

Belmont betting – originally scheduled to run June 6 – is one of 12 races set for Saturday, with Class 1 Woody Stephens, Pennine Ridge Class 2, Grade 3 Wonder Again, Grade 1 Longines Acorn and Grade 1 Jaipur all on the show. court.

The day may look, feel and sound differently, but when it is 5:42 pm. rolling around, Triple Crown will finally take place.

Maestro de Braga is the first Portuguese in the National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba.

Maestro Filipe Cunha, Artistic Director of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Braga, has been invited to conduct the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra, as announced today.

According to a statement sent by O MINHO, “he will be the first Portuguese conductor to conduct this orchestra in its entire history.”

In addition to this orchestra, the maestro will also work with the Lyceo Mozarteum de la Habana Symphony Orchestra.

The concerts will take place on 4 and 12 March 2023 at the National Theater of Cuba in Havana.

In the words of the maestro, quoted in the statement, “these will be very beautiful concerts with difficult but very complex pieces” and therefore he feels “very motivated”.

From the very beginning, Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 will be performed by an Italian pianist (Luigi Borzillo), whom the maestro wants to bring to Portugal later this year. In the same concert, Mendelshon’s First Symphony will be performed.

Then, at the second concert, in the company of the Mexican clarinetist Angel Zedillo, he will perform the Louis Sfora Concerto No. 2. In this concert, the maestro also conducts Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony.

“This is an international recognition of my work. An invitation that I accept with humility and great responsibility. I was surprised to learn that I would be the first Portuguese member of the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra. This is a very great honor,” the maestro said in a statement.

“I take with me the name of the city of Braga and Portugal with all the responsibility that goes with it, and I hope to do a good job there, leaving a good image and putting on great concerts. These will be very special concerts because, in addition to performing pieces that I love, especially Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky, I will be directing two wonderful soloists who are also my friends. It will be very beautiful,” concludes Filipe Cunha.
