I didn't say toss him, although it might sound like that. I was just offering a possible explanation for why Pletcher is entering him which is he obviously thinks he can get the distance.

Pretty bold ignoring 2 sons of Tapit when playing pedigrees. One of those is Intrepid Heart, who is also a half to Belmont runner-up Commissioner and his broodmare sire is Belmont winner Touch Gold.

Not ignoring them, there are others too who might have a pedigree angle. Was just looking for something off.

In case anyone missed it, Baffert said Game Winner will skip the Belmont.

No pace to run at 2 back, and Didn't like those blinkers last time. Smith will ride him like Zenyatta and be moving well at the end to be along in time.

I actually like Spinoff’s pedigree a bit for the Belmont...he just hasn’t run like he wants the distance.
