The Man O'War has only been at the spring Belmont meet for 2 or 3 runnings.

Air Support won the Virginia Derby last year, so its no shock that he shows up here, but I wonder if he would have entered if Shug McGaughey wasn't flush with top turf horses.

Of course, the inconsistent Air Support has laid down nothing but goose eggs this year, so its not like he's bringing a lot of star power to the proceedings.
