some questions arise about the Belmont S.

Did Jones and Porter jump into the bed with the devil ? Gomez is a go to guy with Pletcher. What is Gomez incentive to win the Belmont for Jones when Pletcher butters his bread ? Was Jones and Porter suckered after Gomez took this ride on Hard Spun ?

Look at the fractions in the race. Very slow. And the speedy Hard Spun was taken back off this crawling pace ? Why ?

Does this poor ride have anything to do with the Gomez/Pletcher/Tabor connection ?
