CtC,
I didn't interpret your Bellamy Road vision wrong. I understood exactly what you said, the pace battle with BB Best does Bellamy Road in and he gets passed late by a few horses. I think it is ridiculous. Bellamy Road would have rolled in the Florida Derby had he run there, the same way he rolled in the Wood. The horse is very very fast and your pace theories with regards to him are hogwash.
Now that said, I am not saying that in 3 weeks, as the favorite, in a full field, with quality speed in the race (Rockport Harbor and High Limit), that it might not be a bad idea to bet against Bellamy Road. Especially for those people that think he ran TOO FAST in the Wood and he might bounce. I probably don't fit in that group, but can't criticize those that believe that. I can criticize you for saying that he would have lost in the Florida Derby because of BB Best though. Ridiculous. I only wonder if you actually believe that crap or if you are being antagonistic.
