Canonero II to change hands before Belmont Stakes
Venezuela owner Pedro Baptista said Canonero II will be sold for four million dollars to a Florida or Kentucky syndicate after the Belmont Stakes. The Kentucky bred colt, winner of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, has recovered from a hoof injury and rash and Baptista expects Belmont to be his easiest test. He rejected eight offers, choosing bidders meeting his conditions including four stud rights and ad revenue.
