Do you bet Belmont often? Wind has a tremendous effect on the running of the races at this course (as any - in my opinion because of the way the place is layed out even more so.) I've watched the race and the replay about six times now. Plain and simple - Smarty didn't run his A race - probably came back to about 0-1 negative. He gutted the presumed competition and left them for dead. If Birdstone weren't in the race or wasn't prepped to the minute by Zito over a very deep Oklahoma training track at Saratoga we wouldn't be having this discussion now. We'd be saluting a champion. For what it's worth - I still am.
