I agree with all you just said. I think maybe you misunderstood what I meant by never done. I’m strictly talking about the Belmont horses. None of them had ever run 12f before.

The last horse I remember that had already run 12F before running in the Belmont was Great Contractor in 1976 ( he finished second or third behind Bold Forbes along with McKenzie Bridge ). He had faced olders on turf in Florida in April I think.

However, technically he only ran in part of the Belmont Stakes as he was a DNF. He did improve in 2 more starts at the Belmont meet when switched back to the turf. He was able to complete both the Lexington and an allowance race, finishing last in both. It all came together for him 3 years later when he won he won his first race in the US, a first condition allowance race at Hollywood Park as a 6yo. More evidence that racehorses retire way too soon...
