Obviously I love Sightseek, but she didn't exactly have the most interesting campaign.

Horse needed the easy turns at Belmont to run her best. There have been a number of of large, big-striding horses (e.g. Easy Goer) who find the turns on 8f circuits too tight; they have to shorten stride to maintain their balance, while at Belmont they can continue striding out. Obviously, if running against lesser competition they can overcome the difficulty, but if the competition is top notch they can struggle.
