If Petrouchka was not at her absolute best in the Belmont Oaks (2000m), it would seem her rivals will be hard pressed to cause an upset in the Belmont Classic (2200m).

Leading owner-breeder Bob Peters is warming to the prospect Of Antique Queen causing an upset in Saturday’s $125,000 Listed Belmont Classic (2200m).

Since Weeraechoux stepped out for his maiden appearance last year, trainer Brian Kersley has steadfastly maintained that the three-year-old had the ability to reach stakes company.

There is talented opposition against him, but Russell Stewart gives Stylish Lord a big chance of winning the Listed Aquanita Stakes (2000m) at Belmont on Saturday.

Weeraechoux gave Brian Kersley plenty to cheer about following his Ascot triumph on Wednesday and the trainer believes his talented three-year-old can now go on with it.
