Venezuelan owner refuses Canonero II sale before Belmont
Pedro Baptista says he will not sell Canonero II before the Belmont Stakes on June 5 despite multiple $5 million offers. Baptista, whose colt won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, faces pressure from English and Japanese suitors and notes selling now would feel like treason to his country. He plans serious talks after the Belmont as he contemplates life beyond the Triple Crown pursuit.
