I don't believe it. It's been reported for the longest that he's been saying this is a truly special filly and if he was running her where the public wanted, he would have run her in the Derby. Fact is that he was skipping the SA Derby with her because he was planning Ravel for that race. Then he skipped the Derby with her because they had CQ. He was only protecting his colts' interest, which I can understand, but the only reason he ran her here was because they finally realized that CQ is not up to beating the best of the division and if he wanted to win one, he needed to run her. That's how I see it. If he was convinced CQ could win the Belmont, Rags would not have been there.
