2014 Belmont Stakes Contenders: Matuszak

Belmont Stakes Contender Matuszak

Bred by Sha-Li Leasing Associates, Inc. and owned by George J. Prussin, Matuszak joins the rest of the Belmont Stakes contenders with M/L odds of 30-1. While he no longer has to worry about coming in second to Kid Cruz – who’s team opted not to have him run – Belmont Stakes contender Matuszak will have to out run some of the toughest thoroughbreds in the game if he plans on bringing home the Belmont jewel.
