It's a moot point because he is, but I do find it borderline shocking when a horse wins the Peter Pan and is not going to the Belmont in a year where all horses are lightly raced and relatively even on ability.
I would even say, barring injury, 9.5 times out of ten with any random horse/trainer/owner, the horse is in the gate in two Saturdays.
