Belmont allowance lost in the shuffle
With all of the stakes action going on last week, I didn't see any commentary on what was a very salty NW2X allowance race at Belmont last Thursday. Both the winner (Treat Gently) and the runner-up (Cable) look like serious fillies on turf. Cable, by Clement's statements in DRF, has her issues (probably the reason she's only had 4 lifetime starts). However, given her performance in this slow-paced affair and the back class that she exhibited in Europe, couldn't the Juddmonte-owned Treat Gently be a factor in a race like the Diana should they spot her aggressively for her next start?
