Any chance there's a max field of 16 going to post at the Belmont?

While I don't by any means think he is THE horse to beat CC, I have to include among those with a chance. He ran very well in his past two races without getting what would be an optimal trip for him. If he's allowed loose on the lead in the Belmont, he's very dangerous. If CC is used a bit to keep up with him, than it helps the chances of the closers late. Win or lose, SI could be a big factor if entered.

I like the out-of-the-box thinking, but Palace Malice would chew him up and spit him out at this point in their careers.

Shocking!

It is safe to say that no Pletcher horse will ever be a threat to win the Triple Crown.

I have to agree.

Social Inclusion is probably a Game On Dude type that needs the lead to show his best, but I don't see a problem with the Belmont Stakes distance for him.

Ring Weekend will pass on Belmont

Ring Weekend, fifth in the Preakness, will not run in the Belmont Stakes, trainer Graham Motion said Friday. Prior to the Preakness Ring Weekend won the Tampa Bay Derby and was second in the Calder Derby. He was forced to skip the Kentucky Derby after developing a temperature two days following his final workout for the race.

"I don't see any need to come back in three weeks and run him a
mile and a half," Motion said Friday from Fair Hill. "We got lots of options, grass options, dirt options."

Intense Holiday this AM

David Grening ‏@DRFGrening
Intense Holiday was walked off the track and walked onto the equine ambulance which picked him up at the gap.

@StarlightRacing: Intense Holiday has suffered a condylar fracture. He'll undergo surgery but is expected to fully recover. Still, prayers help...

Pletcher has zero hope then. Commissioner is a fraud, as I only used to think he had talent because of the hype on Top Billing.
