Nonsense! the Belmont still has wonderful horses running the last leg of the Triple Crown....I'll Have Another just might not have won even if sound....who is the 'stalker'...that is the fun of racing....along with the "sure things" bet the long shot for luck.
The best Beyer was IHA at 109 in the Preakness. The only horse with a 3 figure Beyer is Paynter With a Beyer of 107 in an allowance race. Also had 100 in a Derby Prep at CD.
Paynter also should be considered because he could be lone speed. The only other horse with speed is Unstoppable U. This horse though has the 12 post and only has a Beyer of 82 making him a lot slower then the rest of the field.
