the belmont stakes - 2012

there's something fishy - and stinking - about this year's belmont....I'LL HAVE ANOTHER scratched when about to win the triple crown, with a bowed tendon that wasn't quite bowed, which many - including veterenarians - said wouldn't have precluded his running...?  retired?  perhaps...but my suspicion is that the NYRA [if that is the governing body] coralled his owner and trainer and said scratch him.  they had, after all, for the first time insisted on a stakes "detention" barn wherein all entries were to reside for the week prior to the race so as to obviate cheating.  his trainer was under suspension [pending] in california for "milkshaking", and the game of thoroughbred racing couldn't afford another scandal.  plus, the press has been totally silent on  the issue.  all very suspicious.  the complete conspiracy theorist would suggest everyone was paid off - i doubt that - but the fact  that the horse was scratched in the face of  a huge[r] breeding payday makes me ponder the question.
