Does the figure in the Belmont really mean much in general? Its on odd distance and race, it would be hard for me to think a horse is superior because he ran faster than average in this race, or slower for that matter, and the third place finisher being a few lengths back does not mean much either.

We know just as much now as we did before the race, that Paynter is a talented developing colt and Union Rags is one of the better horses in this crop.

And IHA would have beat both if he had been in it.
