Pleasant Colony eyes Belmont after Preakness triumph
Jockey Jorge Velasquez doubted Bold Ego but Pleasant Colony surged to a one length Preakness win. Johnny Campo praised the colt calling it a possible champion as Belmont Stakes on June 6 looms, with Pleasant Colony now 12th in Triple Crown history under trainer Campo. The victory earned $200,800 from a $270,000 purse, lifting the colt’s career earnings to $720,147 after 5 wins in 10 starts.
