The Grade I Lone Star Derby winner is trained by Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert. Game On Dude was purchased privately last March by the Lanni Family Trust, Mercedes Stable, Diamond Pride and Bernie Schiappa and will be having his third start under Baffert.
"We're going to run him in the Belmont," Baffert stated. "He should fit that track, and I think the mile and a half won't be a problem for the way he's bred."
Game On Dude had his final work on Monday, completing five furlongs in :59 4/5, galloping out 1:12 2/5, the fastest of 13 works of the same distance at Santa Anita. Bet the 2010 Belmont Odds at SPORTSBETTING.com and receive a 20% Cash Bonus for your Belmont Stakes Picks.
"When we first purchased him, he had gate problems," Baffert said. "I can't stand it when they don't break running. Today he was good in the gate, tracked the other horse, and wasn't too tired when he got back. He's coming into the race very well. I liked what I saw today; if I didn't I wouldn't bring him."
Game On Dude was bred by Adena Springs and has a pedigree from Awesome Again (1998 Breeders' Cup Classic winner) and Worldly Pleasure by Devil His Due. He holds a 2-1-0 record in 5 starts, winning his last race by 4 1/2 lengths in the Grade III Lone Star Derby on May 8th. Jockey Martin Garcia will be on the mount for his second consecutive race on Game On Dude.
