Bad management on this horse...he's going into the Belmont never having competed in a 2 turn race. Also, the way he's been managed makes me think he's a sprinter...why would you turn back a 'true router' from 1 mile to 7F? Doesn't make sense.
True routers who can't sprint at all usually have one sprint prep and then its right into route races for the rest of their career....this horse has never been in a 2 turn race....
If a horse is 'crying out for a mile and a half' they usually don't run in 5 'sprint' races as their first 5 career starts. (one turn mile=elongated sprint)
Not for me...especially with the owner being a syndicate that wants to add 'we RAN in the Belmont' to their resume. They ran a horse in the Derby with no shot and now they have this misplaced entry.
