Unbridled’s Song Upset

Jamies First Punch upset Unbridled’s Song in the Peter Pan Stakes at Belmont Park, and the easy spot for the would-be super horse apparently wasn’t easy enough.

Trainer Jim Ryerson and owner Ernie Paragallo had hoped to get Unbridled’s Song back on the winning track after finishing fifth as the favorite in the Kentucky Derby.

Tabbed by many as a potential star after he won last year’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile and the Florida Derby and Wood Memorial this year, Unbridled’s Song now looks more like the superhorse that never was. A first-place finish would have propelled Unbridled’s Song to the 1-1/2-mile Belmont on June 8 after skipping the Preakness.
