Harlan Malter, Managing Partner of Ironhorse Racing Stable, Ironhorse Stallions and the stallion Bucchero, brought his prized stud Bucchero to New York last year in anticipation of high-quality racing at a new Belmont Park.
In addition to a renovated main track and two turf courses, the new Belmont Park, set to re-open in 2026, will also offer a one-mile Tapeta track to be used as the exclusive winter racing surface on the New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) circuit, which will create new opportunities for breeders like Malter.
For Malter, a former starting pitcher at Columbia University in New York, the opportunity to move his star stallion, a now-13-year-old son of Kantharos, from Florida to the Empire State and see the resulting progeny race at Saratoga Race Course and Belmont Park was an enticing opportunity.
