This may qualify you as one of those experts nobody can understand.

I knew someone would get me on that!

At least not at Belmont. I'm wondering if they may run it somewhere else.

I'm just not as up on Steeplechase racing as I should be.

Hey---this race is so obscure now I effed up as well----it is the Temple GwathMey ... Two and five eighths mile originally---and yes at Belmont .. A former flat racer I liked won it in 1975---that would be Happy Intellectual ...

i thought it was gwathmy?

and then i read on and saw prudery beat me to that.

well, if a winner going longer is better than a winner at shorter, then steeplechasing should be considered the creme de la creme. go longer, carry more weight, and have to keep jumping all at the same time.
