Siskany has been rejuvenated for the Belmont Gold Cup

Siskany is gearing up to defend his title in the Belmont Gold Cup, with the added incentive of securing a spot in the esteemed G1 Melbourne Cup. Trained by Charlie Appleby, Siskany arrives in New York fresh from a successful three-race campaign in Dubai over the winter. Despite narrowly missing out on victory in the Dubai Gold Cup, his recent performances suggest he's in prime form to clinch another win.

Challenging Siskany for the title is The Grey Wizard, who returns after a nine-month hiatus. Despite a lacklustre performance at Keeneland's Elkhorn S., The Grey Wizard showed improvement in his recent outing at Churchill Downs, making him a formidable opponent over the extended distance.

Limited Liability, known for his prowess in longer races, poses a significant threat with his impressive speed figures. Trained by Mike Maker, Starting Over is another contender to watch, having tasted success in the GII Mac Diarmida S. earlier this year.

Meanwhile, Cibolian looks to improve upon his previous Gold Cup performances, adding further intrigue to an already competitive field. With stakes high and top-class competitors vying for victory, the Belmont Gold Cup promises to be a thrilling spectacle for racing enthusiasts.
