it isn't obvious to me that the belmont took a huge toll. i'd say her subsequent loss, followed by her not quite acting herself (according to her exercise rider, whatever that means) along with her value to her owners, is what lead to us not seeing her again. not the belmont, not the injury. they didn't want to risk her, didn't plan to run her at four anyway i'd imagine, so she was retired. THAT is not the belmonts fault.

It's certainly possible that I'm not remembering correctly.. I did think they planned to run her at four, but I realize I'm in the minority on that one.
