Street Sense to skip Belmont

You don't think the doping and drugs are a bigger and more disappointing issue? Do you think this whole New York Racing issue is going rather well? How about that almost every decent 3 year old colt gets retired to the shed and we never get to see a 4 year old campaign. That isn't disappointing?

While its too bad we won't get to see these 3 horses run against each other in the Belmont, will you be complainging if they run in the Travers, or the BC Classic? Or would rather see them all retired or injured and we get to see Circular Quay run against Invasor in the Classic?

Instead of ridiculing or being pissed about the situation, try to find some good aspects to look at. Who knows, maybe we might get a 4 year old season from Street Sense, and then who will be complaining that he skipped the Belmont?
