I am so embarassed. I was so focused on his current situation that I forgot that if he would have won the Preakness that he would have still been alive to win the Triple Crown. Of course they would have run him in the Belmont in that case. They would have had to go for the Triple Crown.
But in that case, winning the Belmont would do more for his breeding value than winning any other race. Being the first Triple Crown winner in 30 years would make the horse worth an absolute fortune.
