And given the rule where the suspension is shortened if you don’t appeal, the Belmont magically becomes available if Saez doesn’t appeal it.

I hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but this suspension stinks.
I believe that Saez has the right to appeal & therefore can ride until the the appeal is made and decision rendered. This may take some time and it would push back the dates to a better time frame for him to take the days if the appeal is not successful . - like during the winter at the big A .
