The strip could certainly get Smarty. Theres been plenty of horses that haven't liked Belmont.
I think Rock Hard Ten is a good horse and liable to improve next, but I'm not so sure he's the horse to challenge Smarty. He was a little vulnerable late in the Santa Anita Derby and Eddington was getting to him in the Preakness. Smarty picked up a full second plus on him in the stretch. Zito is apparently going Belmont loaded for Bear.
