Belmont Stakes Contender Matterhorn

Getting in on the action for the final race of the Triple Crown, Belmont Stakes contender Matterhorn will share the track with Tonalist for a third time during the Belmont Stakes. Fun fact: if you put Tonalist and Matterhorn’s bloodline charts next to each other you’ll be shocked to find that the two are a 99% spitting image of each other (only on their sire, Tapit’s side). Breeders Town & Country Farm Corp. share ownership of the colt with Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners. Meanwhile, jockey Joe Bravo enjoys the ride. The 3-year-old colt goes into Saturday’s race with M/L odds of 30-1.
