Bodemeister won't race in the Belmont Stakes

I read at onefasthorse.com the news that on Thursday Bob Baffert announced that he would not race Bodemeister in the Belmont Stakes win or lose. The horse is not a loser but will be pointed towards the Haskell, a major race where most likely he will emerge the winner instead of a place horse. I think that that is a wise decision considering that he has twice been beaten by only one horse as nobody else can come near him, which naturally tells how good I'll Have Another really is...I posted a blog at facebook to show why it is that some blogger believes that Doug O'Neil trained IHA to be so ready for these races. I am convinced after reading that blog that IHA will win the Belmont unless something disastrous should happen, and I can't imagine what that would be...since I think that both Bodemeister and IHA are the two best horses in this crop of great young'uns headed for their first tests in the world of horseracing...Unfortunately, in the past, for most of those triple crown winners, their careers were ended after bringing home all the honors. It is a good thing to be winning so much while young, but it often prevents those horses from racing in later years, and I for one, think that it would be interesting to see how well they would do if allowed to do so. But either owners or trainers seem to think that the next best place for them is in the breeding stalls, and so they retire them much too early. Fans would just like to get a chance to see a winning horse of this calibre, and it might be a good idea that they find places where they can still practice their great skills of racing...Possibly, the real reason is that once proved that they are the best, there are few horses to compete against. Frankly, I doubt that...it would be interesting to see older horses compete with younger horses who have proved their muster at the same game...Oh well, it is just a thought...one I doubt that anyone will want to test to see what would happen if a racehorse from two years past could compete with a young horse moving up...only in dog races does that happen after all...
