Majestic Prince May Try For Triple Crown

New York AP reports Majestic Prince may enter the Belmont Stakes on June 7 to pursue the Triple Crown. Trainer Johnny Longden said a decision would come after a planned 1% mile workout next week, with owner Frank McMahon to decide if the unbeaten colt runs in the Test of Champions. The Derby and Preakness winner worked five furlongs in 58.25 seconds at a Long Island track, then six furlongs in 1:11. The colt had previously signaled he might skip Belmont but now seems likely if fit. Art and Letters also turned in a sharp workout Tuesday, six furlongs in a separate effort.
