The vocabulary word of the day could be ‘ausdauer’ [‘stamina’ in German] on Friday when Eckhard Sauren’s Group 2 winner Flatten the Curve seeks to become the third German-trained winner of the Grade 2, $250,000 Belmont Gold Cup in the past eight editions. Previous German runners to prove victorious were Andreas Wohler-trained Red Cardinal [2017] and Marcel Weiss-conditioned Loft [2022]. The race was not contested in 2020.
