It's a complete joke. . . I don't know if Von Hemel's just trying to get cute or what. He sort of did the same thing with Alternation who, admittedly, hasn't panned out. The Belmont was a no-brainer spot for him after his Peter Pan win and I still have no clue why they skipped it. Caleb's Posse's not an overly attractive stallion prospect, obviously, but a GI over older or champion sprinter honors would change that to some degree. . . the $300K he might win at a distance he's vulnerable at doesn't come close.
