Why not try to win the Ohio Derby (May 31) instead of getting dusted at Belmont?
Before the recent mania of "running" (and I use that word advisedly) in every TC race possible, there were often quite short fields in the Belmont--four horses showed up to challenge Secretariat. BB is not Secretariat, but the rest of this lot not in the same league as BB or (probably ) Casino Drive.
As Dirty Harry might have once said, a man's got know his (horse's) limitations.

For a horse like Anak Nakal a third place finish in the Belmont is a lot more likely than winning the Ohio Derby.
