CtC,
Agree with your thought. I stated in a post on Belmont day that the figures are to be thrown out because of the distance. It is just such a unique distance, IMO the Belmont at 1 1/2 miles for 3 yo is an entity all it's own. Very difficult to apply "speed" figures to it. No reason to not take the after race figures with a grain of salt as well.
At the very least you should factor in with your handicapping of their next start. Just my opinion on the Belmont in particular.
