Because I think those horses that have any kind of speed will be in the Classic or the Dirt Mile and the Marathon will be left with all of the horses that are devoid of any kind of speed. The Belmont is won by horses with speed because they are better than the other horses and there isn't another choice of race for them on that same day. On BC day, there will be other races.
