Who knows just asking the question?

I do not think that they were scared about losing another race. Don't forget he will always have the Derby under his belt no matter what he does for now on(Remember Giacomo?). They know that they have a very special horse there and they just did not want to run their third race in a five week span. There are alot of big races this summer that I hope they are pointing to. But I do not believe they avoided Belmont because they were afraid of Curlin (who he should have put away in the Preakness) and Rags.
