NEW YORK — Sightseeing got up in the final stride to beat Prom Shoes by a nose Sunday in the $200,000 Peter Pan Stakes for 3-year-olds at Belmont Park. Sightseeing covered the 1 1-8 miles on a fast track in 1:48.89 and paid $3.20, $2.60 and $2.10. Prom Shoes returned $9.20 and $5.20. Fearless Vision earned $2.80 to show. Edgar Prado was aboard for his third winner of the day as Sightseeing earned $120,000 for the Phipps Stable. The victory opened the door for a possible run in the Belmont Stakes on June 9, although trainer Shug McGaughey was more inclined to target the Jim Dandy Stakes at Saratoga on July 29. “I wouldn’t say the Belmont is a top priority but we’ll see how it all plays out,” McGaughey said. “We’ll see what the Phipps family wants to do. We’ll see who is coming. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are some dropouts from the Preakness and there will be some horses who jump into the fray.” McGaughey has been very conservative with the colt. He ruled out the Kentucky Derby even though Sightseeing missed by only a half length in the Wood Memorial. “He’s still pretty inexperienced,” McGaughey said of the 3-5 favorite who improved to 2-9.
