Union Rags, the 6-1 third choice on the morning line behind Triple Crown hopeful I’ll Have Another (4-5) and Dullahan (5-1) for Saturday’s Grade 1, $1 million Belmont Stakes, arrived at Belmont Park shortly after 11 a.m. June 6th, and was quickly settled into to the stakes barn.
All the Belmont Stakes contenders were required to be in the special stakes barn by mid day on Wednesday.
Trainer Michael Matz said Union Rags, who drew post position 3 for the 1 ½-mile race, departed Fair Hill training center in Elkton, Md., around 7:45 a.m.
