Gr.1 Preakness winner War of Will Prepares For Belmont Stakes
Mark Casse trained-War of Will started the Triple Crown race as one of the favourites.
However the run was tainted with bad-luck. Gary Barber's colt was nearly entangled with Maximum Security in the First Jewel Of The US Triple Crown.
After crossing the wire eighth and being elevated to seventh via disqualification, showed what he could do with a clear trip when he surged up the rail to capture the Preakness by 1 ¼ lengths.
That victory marked the first win in a Triple Crown race for Casse, Barber, and jockey Tyler Gaffalione.
War of Will is now back on track, preparing for the Final Jewel in the US Triple Crown, US$1.5 million Belmont Stakes.
