Bluegrass Cat Is Current Favorite For Saturday's Belmont Stakes

Saturday's Belmont Stakes is the biggest race of the year in New York, but that's not all that's happening at the track.
A new medical clinic opened this week for workers, many of whom are new immigrants and don't have access to health care.
The clinic was recently refurbished by the New York Racing Association.
"Our organization provides services, mostly health, but also well-being services for the backstretch workers,” said Cate Dolan of the New York Racing Association. “Those are the grooms, the hot walkers, the exercise riders. And our most current activity was opening a refurbished clinic."
As for the race itself, it's a wide open field, because for just the second time in 36 years, neither the Kentucky Derby nor Preakness winner will be there. Derby winner Barbaro saw his racing career end at the Preakness when he broke three bones in his right rear leg and underwent surgery. Preakness winner Bernardini will not run after his owner said the colt deserves a break after running three races in quick succession.
Bluegrass Cat, the runner-up at the Derby, is the current favorite.
