Revert back to his pace-setting/pressing ways and he'll win the Belmont by a pole if Early Voting doesn't show up.
Simplification grabbed the bit in front of the stands the first time causing Velasquez to put his feet on the dash board and waste time and energy getting him to settle. He's another that deserves a shot at the Belmont.

judging by the trainers comments certain nly not the plan....not often a leading rider gets blistered like that by a trainer after a race like the preakness.
