The extra length of the Belmont stakes can dull a closer's late kick since he has to sustain it for a longer period of time.

Let's keep in mind, he was passing horses that had long since spit the bit and called it a day. You can't really evaluate based on the run off after the post either...Borel was jumping for joy and you figure Pino had slowed up Hard Spun after an ultra game effort. I'd throw him on the bottom of some tickets for the Belmont, but not the top.
