Don't worry, there are horses racing at Belmont tomorrow.

There are plenty of things to question about the manner in which the NYRA racing office does things, but I think it's hard to blame them for the annual pre-Saratoga lull.

Against this backdrop, carding an extra race a day (and this continued on Wednesday) makes little sense.

Shirreffs rarely runs his horses, everyone knew that going in.
