But even then, there are still no gurantees.

I don't think the fact that SS lost the Preakness is the reason they're not running. If anything, I think the fact that they lost would make them more likely to run because they would want to come back and reverse the tables on Curlin.

Of course it's a reason they're not running.. Just not the only factor. If SS had won the Preakness, you telling me they'd skip the Belmont anyway? I seriously doubt that.
