Really nice card. Excited to see Wolf Man Rocket vs Two Weeks Off.

When did Belmont impose a 7 horse cap on races? Might as well be California....

Anyone bashing the Saturday Belmont card is doing so just to bash NYRA. Its a really good card and all the Stakes races, small fields or not are fascinating. The 2nd race has a field of 12, the 5th a field of 10. The 6th has 12 and the 8th is a 14 horse war, about as competitive a field as you can find. I don't get the 7 horse field comment at all.
