Social Inclusion belongs in the Met Mile, not the Belmont Stakes on June 7th.

While I don't by any means think he is THE horse to beat CC, I have to include among those with a chance. He ran very well in his past two races without getting what would be an optimal trip for him. If he's allowed loose on the lead in the Belmont, he's very dangerous. If CC is used a bit to keep up with him, than it helps the chances of the closers late. Win or lose, SI could be a big factor if entered.

I have to agree.

Social Inclusion is probably a Game On Dude type that needs the lead to show his best, but I don't see a problem with the Belmont Stakes distance for him.

I like the out-of-the-box thinking, but Palace Malice would chew him up and spit him out at this point in their careers.

Danza out. He is being sent to Ocala for some rest.
