Ah, the ol' pace numbers thing. This is why I love turf racing so much better.
My opinion is that BELLAMY ROAD was cranked for the Wood so that Steinbrenner could see him run in the Derby. The combination of that, the track, and the competition is what led him to his waltz at Aqueduct. Even Zito was shocked. (Don't you think the trainer would have known what he had?)
That being said, he will probably now go on to win the Derby.
Good Luck,
Joe B.
