I could be wrong of course. Hard to handicap the handicappers, but I think I would be surprised if the lady in question went with any gray other than the one she has already enjoyed success with and why not? He has already demonstrated that he can get the distance. Within a sixteenth of a mile of the distance anyway. Have to say, I'm a bit disappointed that the Belmont Stakes this year is not the traditional mile and a half. Just seems to be a much more unique race at the longer distance, but not many, if any, venues like Belmont Park.
