I was probably at Belmont for every race you mentioned in 1987 ( as well as that BC at Hollywood ). I remember the Java Gold situation well, as he is actually one of my all-time favs, and what you said is correct. However, he lost the JCGC because of that imbecile Pat Day.
Personal Ensign was probably held out more because she had just returned from an injury and won the Rare Perfume and Beldame in like a ten minute period ( give or take 11 days ) and Creme Fraiche was a gelding who more than likely wasn't BC eligible. As for Forty Niner, perhaps they wanted to wait a year for Krone to bury him.

Did you know that they changed his name to Ittasak? What the heck does that mean?
