NEW YORK (AP) - Bellamy Road has not been ruled out of the Belmont Stakes, although it's unlikely that the beaten Kentucky Derby favorite owned by Yankees boss George Steinbrenner will be healthy enough to run in the final leg of the Triple Crown.
Edward Sexton, who runs Steinbrenner's Kinsman Farm in Ocala, Fla., said Wednesday that Bellamy Road's popped splint in his left front leg was "a very minute injury" and the 3-year-old colt would resume light training in two weeks.
"He'll be back in full training in three to four weeks," Sexton said. "The Belmont is looking doubtful, but we'll just have to see what happens."
