The mile and a half of Belmont breaks a lot of horses. The distance is longer than any of them have raced so far. I do think that if any horse in the field can do it, it's Smarty. Today's run was quite exceptional ... broke a record that stood since what, 1873 or something? 11 freaking lengths. I have never seen anything quite like it, except perhaps Secretariat's Derby win.
