The owners know the type of horse they have. Which was one that was an 80-1 shot at the Derby that had a perfect trip to win the race. They also know they probably don't have a super horse which is why they were content in not running in a race that they felt might not have a shot of winning. So they get a horse who won the Derby with 5 weeks of rest going into the Belmont where it would have a very good shot at winning.
