Obviously there is no TC at stake, so why run for the 3rd time in 5 weeks? Both horses (AK & Shack) have run big the last 2 races, so why not sit out the Belmont and rest up for the summer campaign?
If a horse manages to win two thirds of the triple crown in this crop they are probably going to win 3yo championship honors.
