Tomcito - 2008 Belmont Stakes Contender

• Trainer: Dante Zanelli
• Jockey: Jorge Chavez
• Owner: Jet Set Racing Stable
• Breeder: Chesapeake Farm and Darley
• 2007 Record: 4-1-0 in 5 starts

The analysis of Tomcito's pedigree does not require any theoretical projection of stamina, for he has already proven his ability to stay as far as 1 1/2 miles when racing in Peru. In his case, a perusal of the bloodlines helps to reveal the sources of his marathon capacity. His sire, the Grade/Group 1 star Street Cry (IRE), romped by 4 1/4 lengths in the 1 1/4-mile Dubai World Cup (UAE-G1) in 2002. The Mr. Prospector-line stallion has gotten off to a terrific start at stud, siring champion Street Sense, 2007 Kentucky Derby and Travers Stakes (gr. I) hero, in his very first crop.
