She was scratched. It was a turf race, and they run it on dirt !!   If you can call Belmont's sloppy surface dirt. :-\

Oh well - I wonder what they'll do with her now since they will be at Aqueduct soon.

LOL - I can't believe that I have been going there for years (Since FuPeg won the Wood) and did not remember that.

I must have seen turf stakes races when went to see the Cigar Mile, Withers, Gotham and Wood Memorial.

:doh:  :slap:

Aqueduct, like Belmont had two turf racing strips before they converted one to inner dirt!!

That really shows just how observant I am. Yikes.
