I agree. It's ridiculously biased (not to mention uneducated and negative) that Union Rags' Belmont win is off the ballot, yet something so fickle as a /scratch/ could possibly be entertained as the biggest moment of the year. Pure madness... thanks for posting.
:) Oh goody. I was secretly worried someone might have told me I was the biased one in suggesting I would have preferred a Union Rags-Paynter battle ballot for the Belmont. I’ve long been a hardcore, stubborn Rags fan who wanted him to win and believed he could even while IHA was still planned to race.
I may be biased on how high I rank the Belmont when I do my “best/most exciting races of the year” countdown, but honestly I think that’s about it.
