Bummer.

It's BS that a horse that didn't run in either The Derby or The Preakness can run Belmont.  All three tracks being different, I don't know why a horse is allowed in one that hasn't run the other 2.

They're three different races.  It's no different than Tennis players playing in the French Open but not Wimbledon.
