Union Rags is bred to be extremely precocious all-around. Up close, he's best suited as a sprinter/miler IMO.
I'd load up on him in the Belmont if the race was 7 furlongs or a 1-turn mile.

Gone West mares have produced offspring capable of winning at all distances. If he was built like a sprinter/miler, I might be willing to toss him aside, but he's not.
