I've been putting an asterisk next to the Belmont Stakes for all three years it's been at Saratoga.
You know, I mean, last year's Kentucky Derby, the top three, Sovereignty, Journalism, and Baeza.
were the exact same top three as in the Belmont Stakes.
So it's almost like, okay, well, you run it back five weeks later for $3 million fewer.
It's almost like, what's the point?
But, I mean, there's no guarantee that that's going to happen this time around.
And, in fact, it can't because the third-place horse, Ocelli, is not in the Belmont Stakes.
So we'll see.
Well, I think, one, Mott kind of rubbed the nose in it because he was quoted by Daily Racing Forum as saying, I could have run my horse faster.
in the Preakness, but I didn't feel like it.
It's sort of like a real up yours.
Cherie DeVoe has not said that, but she's caught a little bit of flack about it because the statement that was released a couple days after the Derby to say that they weren't coming almost looked like your standard form letter release that you're going to put out for not going to the Preakness and you just fill in the name of the horse.
So there's been a little blowback, but I think it's because we've been there and done that.
And sadly, we're getting used to it, unfortunately.
Certainly it's an occasion.
I mean, the fact that it's a Saratoga, it's been wildly popular there.
It's gorgeous.
Saratoga's gorgeous.
And it's just any excuse to get to Saratoga at this time of year, you look for it.
And so from the standpoint of folks in the Northeast, yeah, it's a big deal.
