Based on a report of Mandella being unhappy with a Setsuko race I would call him unlikely right now.

This actually is a pretty ingriguing field and has the makings for a good betting race. I see New Madrid is entered in a Turf race at Belmont on Thursday. Seems like an odd prep for the Belmont Stakes, especially if he likes the turf, which seems likely given his pedigree.

Next year?
This could have explained his relatively poor performance in the American Turf. I know Mandella is conservative and he probably knows better than anyone how to care for a horse but this comment caught my eye.
It's nothing serious," Mandella emphasized. "We are going to give him a couple months off and start thinking about next year."

Ridiculous as this sounds, I still hope to see him (Setsuko) get healthy and run on conventional dirt. I just can't believe he won't move up. He's a May foal and the time off should help him mature also.

I don't know, I thought his relatively poor performance on the turf at CD could have been because he's probably not a turf horse.
