Silverbulletday did set the pace in the Belmont.....23 3/5ths and 47 3/5ths are the exact fractions...as I felt compelled to look it up.
As far as what next if Rags to Riches wins the Belmont Stakes....it would depend on a lot of different things...and it's too early to speculate.
If there is a horse in the land that is better bred to thrive in a 12 furlong dirt race, I don't know who it is. That's what will make it very tempting to run in a race like the Belmont Stakes for those connections....regardless of how many of the "big 3" show up.
