SENSATIONAL SIX SET FOR MET MILE (G1)

ELMONT, N.Y. – Although Dale Romans has Dullahan slated to face Triple Crown hopeful I’ll Have Another in the June 9 Belmont Stakes, it is Monday’s Grade 1, $750,000 Metropolitan Handicap, not the “Test of the Champion,” that the trainer said could end up being “the race of the year.”

“[The Met Mile] has quality horses, and I’m glad to be part of it,” said Romans, who will send out Shackleford in the Memorial Day feature. “I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a champion in this race.”
