Meanwhile, at Belmont
Jockey Mike Luzzi earned his 3000th career win in the nightcap aboard Too Tough Pete, making his second start for trainer Richard Schosberg, another whose barn is running well this spring (he’s now 11-4-2-1 through Saturday). Luzzi scored win number 2999 the race before, when Cowgirls Don’t Cry captured the Shuvee Handicap by 2 1/4 lengths over favored Rite Moment. (Aside: Add Shuvee to the list of great distaffers who raced males without problem. The Triple Tiara-winning filly took the Jockey Club Gold Cup not once, but twice. Brooklyn Backstretch recounts.)
