I saw the piece. He is not entered for Saturday at Belmont and there was no race for him in the condition book for Saturday.

If you push a young horse too soon you can break that horse, mentally or physically or both. That's what I'm told anyway. That might be the case here. He was the fastest at his 2 yr old under tack sale, I believe. And that may have ruined him.

He apparently did fine after his sale, went to the track, then tore a gluteal muscle in training, necessitating (as is normal) quite a bit of time off to heal.

I hope he has the chance to race at 100 % effectiveness.

Sounds like they're just being patient with him.
