Thursday's 3rd race at Belmont looks loaded

I like Song of Love. Her debut was visually impressive to me. She's a half to Nobiz by the way.

On bin Suroor....Rick Mettee trains the horses in the US.

her debut seems to have been a live race.

Absolutely. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place finishers are a combined 0 for 5. That's about as live as a race can get. Did something actually win back out of that race?

I hope you're just being a wiseguy and that's not how YOU judge the quality of a race....any race. It actually is a live race ( and not because a distant finisher has won twice since ).

So, one of the ways I'd consider the quality of a race wouldn't be in terms of how the horses in it ran back? Wouldn't that be a qualitative counterpart to the number? Especially since the horse that drew off on the turn in that race and had a clear lead turning for home has proven to be a quitter ---even going six.
