=== Dullahan gearing up for Belmont Stakes ===
 
 Louisville,  KY  (Sports Network) - Dullahan,  third in the Kentucky Derby, is
 skipping Saturday's Preakness Stakes to prepare for the Belmont Stakes on June
 9.  The colt  posted a  workout Saturday  morning at  Churchill Downs  for the
 upcoming 1 1/2 mile Test of Champions.
 
 Trained  by  Dale Romans,  Dullahan covered  five furlongs on  a fast track in
 1:00  1/5  with Faustino  Aguilar riding. The  three-year-old galloped out six
 furlongs in 1:13 4/5 and seven furlongs in 1:29 4/5.
 
 "He came out of the Derby very well and today's work was good," said assistant
 trainer  Baldemar  Bahena. "He will work  again here next Saturday and then we
 will ship him to Belmont. He'll have his final workout for the race up there."
 
 Dullahan was 12-1 in the Kentucky Derby after winning the Blue Grass Stakes at
 Keeneland. Owned by Donegal Racing, the colt has won two of nine career starts
 for $1,072,091.
 
 Also  putting  in a workout at  Churchill Downs was 2011 champion two-year-old
 Hansen.  Ninth  in the  Run for the  Roses, Hansen worked  five furlongs in 51
 seconds. Trained by Mike Maker, the colt will start next in the Woody Stephens
 Stakes on the Belmont Stakes undercard at Belmont Park.
