SJ wires Belmont?????

[Bobby]

Since Lion HEart is out of the Belmont Stakes, do you guys think that Smarty will wire this field? That's a pretty big challenge at 1 1/2 miles. Then again, he can fall back to a 108 Beyer and beat this group. I will say, however, that I think in the Preakness SJ could've easily run a 125+ Beyer, if he had any competition.

Bold Forbes was a sprinter and he wired the Belmont, I don't think Smarty would have much trouble if nobody else wants the lead.

If Sinister G runs well in the Peter Pan, then comes back in the Belmont, there's your pace factor. Otherwise SJ might have to go to the lead.
