It is understandable that people are frustrated that SS is not in the Belmont, but his connections are doing what is best for him; not the fans. A trainers job is to do right by the horse and find the best spots for there horse to win. These 3 races are very tiring on a still growing 3 yr old horse. SS gave 2 great races and they don't feel he can do a 3rd within the 5 wk period. I think it is commendable that his connections aren't chasing the $ and doing what is best for the future of their colt. At least he gave you 2 great races. Bernardini only raced once and then was retired shortly after that. Be thankful that SS will be pointed to some great races later on like the Travers, etc.
