@melbguy34 Hey buddy relax don't eat me. What I said and still stand by it is that Blugrass Cat got caught real wide that FIRST turn that he easily lost 7 to 8 lenghts there. Jazil came just a tad wider than him on the final stretch but saved ground before that throughout the race.
@Stamolka1986 barbaro only ran as fast as he had to cruising just off the leaders... barbaro was a special horse..and would have had plenty in the tank to make it a race

@cabalogia Belmont's turns are very sweeping. Wide isn't faal there.

@gregg008 Bernardini was just as fast as Barboro, if not faster.
Barbaro was fragile. That's why he couldn't run too often. Three races in five weeks would have been a lot to ask of him.

Barbaro would have won this.

Yeah, and Jazil was even wider outside BlueGrass Cat.. so your point is a moot one... Jazil covered wider ground, and still won.

Finally I found Rags to Riches half brother! Two belmont winners, not bad for Better Than Hounor. A good horse.
