Vic is right, and I really appreciate his honesty here...in fact it's worse than just another race..There can't even be an historic "upset" here...It's the BC Marathon Lite...Slapping the name "Belmont Stakes" on it doesn't make it special. Most of these horses will have a hard time winning overnight stakes, let alone Grade I's...
This race will gon down in history as "The 2012 Belmont* Stakes" (*=somebody had to win or yeah but, who did he beat?)
I know it's not politically correct to infer it let alone say it, but it's just become a screwy 1.5 mile allowance race at the end of a long day, with the "Belmont" name attached to it.
Only SLIGHTLY redeeming value is that it's not too bad of a betting race now
