    No. After the Kentucky Derby, the Musket Man connections said they'd run in either the Preakness OR Belmont, but not both. Musket Man ran in the Preakness and will skip the Belmont. For now, Musket Man is taking a well deserved break and they are targetting his return later this summer in the Haskell.

    Charitable Man is running in the Belmont. He'll break from post 6. It's hard to see on Sandra's answer because there's not a space after Luv Gov before Charitable Man.

    EDIT : There's NOW a space after Luv Gov before Charitable Man. Thanks kmnmiamisax for pointing that out. I fixed it on all other answers too! Human error :)

    His owners gave him a short break from training and the now Monmouth Park-based runner is being pointed to the August 2 Haskell Invitational. They have the health and future of this talented racer in mind with this plan.
