I've been away on a family visitation vacation and I just want to add one thing to whatever has been said about the Belmont. The horses whom we considered top of the barrel are still the top of the barrel; the proven form said that Jazil, Bluegrass Cat, Steppenwolfer and Sunriver were better than the rest of these and so it proved. Bob and John just didn't stay -12f is too far for him - but he should rebound when backed up to 8-9f. This crop has an established group of superior performers and I look forward to seeing them take on their elders later in the year.
