Lil Wayne, Lil Yachty have entered a horse in Belmont Stakes
Tha canter!
Rappers Lil Wayne and Lil Yachty, Puerto Rican singer Rauw Alejandro and thoroughbred big Glenn Sorgenstein are part of a horse racing syndicate, Run Fast Racing.
And Page Six has learned that they have aready achieved the dream of most owners — entering a horse in a Triple Crown race.
On Thursday, their bay colt Vitruvian Man was confirmed to run the Belmont Stakes at Saratoga Race Course in New York next weekend.
The horse is trained by Doug O’Neill and has one win from six starts.
“He’s always shown a lot of talent, he was just a little slow to come around,” O’Neill told Daily Racing Form. “He’s training well.”
Antonio Fresu, who rode Vitruvian Man — named after the famed Leonardo da Vinci drawing of a guy with four arms — to third place in the Santa Anita Derby, will take the reins again in the $2 million June 6 race.
The group has an app, also called Run Fast Racing, which — which for a $100-a-month subscription — gives users a payout if Vitruvian Man, or 17 other horses owned by the syndicate, win a race.
Plus, according to the app, subscribers get owners’ box access, horse naming rights, input in jockey selection and more.
Last year, RFR’s Sixhoofsevenhoof (a play on Lil Wayne’s track “Six Foot Seven Foot”) and Punto Forty (named after one of Alejandro’s tunes) both won at Los Alamitos. Both were trained by O’Neill and jockeyed by Fresu.
