Message: [QUOTE="IthacaBarrel, post: 5443117, member: 363"] Listening to Mott and reading some stuff about Sovereignty, I do believe the Belmont not really being the Belmont, (distance and location) played a significant role in them not running the horse at the Preakness and taking a real shot at the triple crown. Read somewhere that Godolphin was of the mind set that it would be a triple crown with an asterisk. I can't say that I disagree with them. The Belmont at Saratoga is obviously still a great win and a Grade 1 but Godolphin never seemed too interested at taking a run at the triple crown with this horse [/QUOTE]
