Belmont Stakes 2012 Results: Tapitsfly And Trinniberg Win Undercard Races

Two more undercards before the Belmont Stakes at Aqueduct have concluded, the Longines Just A Game Stakes and the Woody Stephens stakes, taken home by Tapitsfly and Trinniberg, respectively. Tapitsfly was ridden by Ramon Dominguez and Trinniberg by Willie Martinez, who was on Giant Ryan earlier Saturday when he went down with a fractured ankle. Neither jockey has a mount in the Belmont Stakes.

Javier Castellano and John R. Velazquez finished second and third to Tapitsfly. Castellano will ride Dullahan in the Belmont and Velazquez will ride Union Rags, two of the horses with the best odds to win the big race. Both jockeys will race again before the Belmont, but they’re clearly locked in right now.
