True many Belmonts have been lost due to the riders' ignorance of the large Belmont track. However these were not just closers. Smarty Jones and Real Quiet made premature moves from the front. Afleet Alex made his winning move from off the pace as did Birdstone.
There is no reason not to evaluate the race like any other race according to figures and pace scenario analysis but with added emphasis on the jockey's ability to ride intelligently.
