The 1 1/16-mile Dwyer is also the next likely start for Blue Grass Stakes (gr. I) runner-up and Kentucky Derby (gr. I) fourth-place finisher More Than Ready. The son of Southern Halo went four furlongs in :49 4/5 seconds, breezing, over the main track. Stablemate Graeme Hall, who won the Arkansas Derby (gr. II) before being eased through the stretch during the Kentucky Derby, breezed a half-mile in :49 4/5 seconds.
Stronach Stable's Preakness (gr. I) winner Red Bullet and the Todd Pletcher-trained pair of More Than Ready and Graeme Hall put in morning works over the wet-fast main track at Belmont Park Thursday. Red Bullet completed his five-furlong breeze in 1:00 flat. The Joe Orseno trainee is expected to make his next start in the $150,000 Dwyer Stakes (gr. II) July 9 at Belmont Park.
