And The Winner Of The Belmont is........

[Danzig]

belmont isn't typically a closers race.
and keen ice might get to elmont and detest the surface. some horses don't like big sandy, while some absolutely love it.

and how can we have horses not bred to get 10f, but then we have people saying there are horses bred to go long? who's right about the breeding?

and perhaps it's more a case of not training to go long? i have to think that the thing that affects these horses the most when trying the spring classics these days is that they don't train how they used to.
