 NEW YORK (AP) - It will be tough to tell who's more comfortable at the Belmont Stakes on Saturday, trainer Bill Kaplan or his horse, Imawildandcrazyguy.
Kaplan will be surrounded by family and friends on his first trip home in years, while his gray gelding has given every indication he will enjoy running 1 1/2 miles at Belmont Park.
"It's exciting to be back home," said the 61-year-old Kaplan, who moved to South Florida more than 30 years ago and is based at Calder Race Course. "And to have a horse in the Belmont Stakes, the test of the champion? A thrill."
