What you saw at Belmont was a bunch of scared connections watching from the sidelines while the Sheikhs, Pletcher and Zito cashed checks.

All I know is that I was at what should have been the biggest day of racing on the year at Belmont and was looking at the simulcast screens and kinda wishing I was at Keeneland. I don't ever want to wish that again! I despise Keeneland.
