Dale Romans and Allen Jerkens discuss training a horse to go 1 1/2 miles [03:15]
Trainer Dale Romans, who is preparing Dullahan for the 2012 Belmont Stakes, sat down with Hall of Fame trainer H. Allen Jerkens to discuss what it takes to have a horse prepared for a 1 1/2-mile race. While Jerkens has never won the Belmont Stakes, he has won many major races at 1 1/2 miles or longer, including the two-mile Jockey Club Gold Cup with Prove Out in 1973 and Group Plan in 1975, the 1 1/2-mile Man o' War with Beau Purple (defeating Kelso) over soft turf in 1962, and the 1 1/2-mile Woodward with Prove Out (defeating Secretariat) in 1973.
