Lackluster Field Could Produce ‘Unpolished Gem’ BY TOM KEYSER BELMONT STAKES ELMONT,N.Y. — After such a tothis: 11 uncelebrated 3-year-olds contesting today’s Belmont Stakes, the so-called “test of the champion.” With neither the Kentucky Derby nor Preakness winner in the a ead at Belmont Park, the third jewel of the Triple eanappears a lacklusteraffair. At first glance, no “champion” seems evident. But horse racing is a marveloysly unpredictable sport, the {proughtbred a_ continually evolving athlete. Racing creates chafhpions, and lackluster fields sgmptimes produce unpolished it could be the saving grace of this, the 132nd running of the oldestof the Triple Crown races. “So far, these horses have taken turns beating each other,” said’ Todd Pletcher, trainer of Impeachment, the only Belmont horse to run in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness. “Who's to say the best 3-year-old is not run- ning in this race? By the end of the year, we might consider this the bestfield of them all.” Carl Nafzger, trainer of the Belmontentrant Unshaded, jumped to the defense of this race and the Triple Crown in general. “This is a great Triple Crown. What’s wrong with it?” Nafzger said. ‘We've got a great bunch of3- year-olds this year. You've got good horses running against each other. “Let's wait and see what happens before we dismiss this bunch. Let’s wait and see how a horse like Impeachment does against older horseslater in the year.” That Nafzger chose Impeachmentfor the example speaks volumes about the Belmont. After Fusaichi Pegasus dominated the Kentucky Derby, the Gil Morgan, Graham Marsh, John Morgan and Stewart Ginn each finished with 70. Hale Irwin, who has won the last two tournaments here and three of thelast five, finished at even par, snapping a streak of 19 straight sub-par scores. Eggeling, Doolan Lead Propelled by a hole-in-one, Dale Eggeling fired a 4-under-par 68 to grab a share of the lead midway through the Rochester Interna- tional in New York. “That’s one of the coolest momentsI’ve had in golf. You get all tingly inside,” Eggeling said of the 155-yard ace, which won her a $30,000 car and helped moveherto Sunder 139 for the tournament, even with Australia’s racing world anointed him the next great horse, a near shoo-in for the Triple Crown. Hold on a minute. Fusaichi Pegasus faltered in the Preakness, finishing a nonthreatening second. But alas, Red Bullet won the focus your attention away from these boys,” Howard said. “They're laughing. They’ve laughed through this trial, and if youfind themnotguilty, they will continue to laugh.” The jury of 10 women and two for Sweeting, a longtime friend of Lewis, told jurors that in order to Red Bullet was withdrawn when his ownerandtrainer decided that sweptinto New Yorkafter winning killed. The defense attorneys “wantto final hes hese at historic Belmont. skipped the Derby, the country’s defining race for 3-year-old greatness. Fusaichi Pegasus’ defeat in the Preakness meantthatfor thefirst time in four years the Belmont would not shimmer with the excitement of a possible Triple Crown winner. Silver Charm in 1997, Real Quiet in 1998 and Charismatic in 1999 another taken after they were men, which has not been sequestered for the weekend, will begin Preakness as impressively as Fusaichi Pegasushad wonthe Derby. So Red Bullet became the next great horse, even though he had pictures of each victim — one taken while they were alive, and the Kentucky Derby and Preakness. But in their bids to become thefirst Triple Crown winnersince Affirmed in 1978, eachfailed in the 0 Triple Crown on the line, the rhea for the Belmont became the showdown between the Kentucky Derby and Preakness winners. But Fusaichi Pegasus was lost to the Belmont whenhe sus- winner, whoshota 67 Friday to go to3 under through two rounds.

Bergendahl told the jury that the real killer was Kwame King, anotherlongtime friend of Lewis whom Bergendahl called “the man in black.” He said King, who has never appeared in court, had a large knife and matched the descriptions several witnesses gave. In his closing argument, Howardsaid that even though no witnesses saw Sweeting or Oakley stab anyone in the street brawl, there is enough circumstantial evidence to convict both men of murder. There was “a decision,a chase, a killing, a blood trail,” Howard told jurors. Howard said Oakley started an argument with a group of men from Akron, Ohio, which included the victims. Baker, the smaller of the two victims, then smacked Oakley in the head with a’ champagnebottle. “When Jacinth Baker hit him with a bottle, it’s our contention that Reginald Oakley already had his knife out,” Howard said.
