Not sure that thinking makes any sense. Belmont's stretch seemingly goes on forever. Arlington on the other hand uses the alternate (shorter) finish line for 9 furlongs and once they hit the top of the stretch there's not a lot of track left to make up ground.

In addition the competition is softer at Arl and there is a free shuttle offered between CD and Arlington which, saves a ton on shipping, win or lose.
