for sure and I think many people who don't really follow racing don't realize how young a 3 year old thoroughbred horse actually is.  They can really improve from race to race without CHEATING! Who knows which horse will go onto have the best career overall.  Gun Runner didn't really find his best form until his 4 year old career.   What horses will cut back or go to grass etc.

Distance of the Belmont should not be an issue for Rich Strike but as a KY Derby Winner he will be over bet in every race he ever runs moving forward.  I think Mo  Donegal will be short odds too.

Barber Rd ( the 13 or 14?)  also looked like a Belmont horse who ran a solid 6th but he has to make a winning move at some point, he just goes along for the ride in the races I have watched. definition of a 1 pace plodder  but he could be right there too.  Belmont such a different race too as I don't think you see anywhere near the pace scenario that we did Saturday.

Onto the Preakness
