There are no saints in Elmont

[ptgiven]

good move by Trombetta to skip the belmont...would of had trouble getting the distance and depending how he came out of the race he would be benched for a while good to see him save for the summer races

[Skip away]

This isnt really news. It was decided 3 days after the Preakness SNS would skip the Belmont. Trombetta may have played coy but we know better.

I'm relieved. I did not want to see him go to the post in the Belmont. Just didn't see the sense in coming back at 12F against fresh horses after a demanding series of races. Deserves a little freshening. IMO.

Great decision to bypass the Belmont. Probably very tough to do considering he would have been the favorite and is the most talented IMO, but they are factoring their geldings health into things and that is important. Mentions the WV Derby as a possible return. He's a gelding, so theres no value for him a a stallion prospect, meaning that they would be smart to take the winners share of 750K against Grade 3 runners instead of trying the Haskell against Grade 1 competition.

He is a money machine waiting to happen . I think he will be running in stakes for a few years with his share of wins. No TC so treat him like a nice stakes horse pick and chose, cash checks.
