Someday, I am going to remember that the 1 1/16 (T) at Belmont on the Inner is a death trap to horses outside the six post. Fell prey to Saratoga Bound (easy positioning early) and longshot Uptown Girl (looking for a move off the last speedy race at 20-1).
None of this really matters though which is the only consolation that I get from Belmont's seventh : When Speedy's Gal takes the race at 5-2 sporting a 1-for-18 lifetime and 0-for-two-years, it is clear that I need a new racing form.
