The chestnut son of 2004 Belmont Stakes winner Birdstone, Summer Bird
, hopes to join Easy Goer in horse racing history as the first horse in 20 years to win the Belmont Stakes, the Travers and the Jockey Club Gold Cup in the same year.
“Any Grade 1 race is important, but when you add onto it the historical significance of Easy Goer being the last 3-year-old to win the Belmont, Travers and Jockey Club Gold Cup in the same year, it’s very meaningful,” said Tim Ice, who trains Summer Bird for Drs. Kalarikkal and Vilasini Jayaraman. “Horses like Man o’War and Arts and Letters did it — if Summer Bird could add this to his resume, it would speak volumes for him.”
The Jockey Club Gold Cup is the 10th race in Belmont Park’s October 3 horse racing program. Jockey Club Gold Cup post time is 5:43 pm.
