You know WHAT? I just watched the replay of the Belmont pre-race show.Not only did the incident before the Acorn kill the chances of the 2 horses who had to scratch,but if you look at the incident from in front of the gate(from the camera in the infield,)you will see that Teammate was quite shook up by Miraculous Miss going nuts.She looked right over and stared at the whole incident.She didn't break through the gate,but she made a couple false start lunges .Surely she was not herself after that.Like you said,it was a pretty slow finish,and you would have to think we would have a different result(and a faster race time)if this unfortunate incident didn't happen.A game of luck,and chance(indeed.)
