Original Toronto Star caption: The good life: Trainer Gerry Belanger keeps a close eye on Val Dansant as the Queen's Plate hopeful grazes. A grandson of the great Northern Dancer; Val Dansant will carry a lot of high expectations into the 125th renewal of the oldest continuously run stakes race in North America at Woodbine next Sunday. The probable favorite for the 1 1/4-mile classic will be Let's Go Blue.
