Maybe he was or is a tired horse. He should be. The greatest athletes do get tired but bounce back. Justify has all the right people around him to bounce back so lets just wait and see if he joins the "came up short" club of great horses or if he joins the elite club of true super horses taking on the Belmont entries in stride. Even without flare he only needs to win by a nose hair. I'm sure his cadre will have him ready but will he be ready when the gates open, we'll just have to wait with high anticipation to see.
There are two horses that I want no part of in Belmont, Audible and My Boy Jack will be overhyped.
