One-time Derby contender Texas Red returns in Dwyer Stakes (The Associated Press)
Texas Red is set for his first race in more than five months in Saturday’s $500,000 Dwyer Stakes at Belmont Park, one of six stakes races at the track’s Stars & Stripes day. Winner of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile last year, Texas Red injured a foot after finishing second in the San Vicente on Feb. 1. The 3-year-old is trained by Keith Desormeaux and will be ridden by his brother, Hall of Famer Kent Desormeaux.
