Justify has already beaten 23 different horses in 2 legs and if he were to best probable newcomers Blended Citizen, Gronkowski, Restoring Hope and Bandua in the Belmont, the number swells to 27.

So GTFO with the 'reduced competition' nonsense.

Citation also won a race between the Preakness and Belmont at the KY Derby distance. Back then it was 4 weeks between the Preakness and Belmont though.

Please don't yell at me.
