i think that's an overrated part of the belmont. i also believe in running horses when they're ready to run. you're supposed to follow their schedule, not your own. if you're pointing to a race, and they show signs of not being ready, you don't run them. she's fit right now. if the oaks and preakness haven't taken anything out of her, there's no reason not to run her. as for nothing to prove, another thing you'll never hear from me about a racehorse. there's still plenty for her to do.
