Draw a line through his Kentucky Derby when he was stuck inside throughout and visibly resented the kickback throughout the sloppy going in Louisville. This is a very one-paced sort, which plays well historically in the Belmont Stakes. The final jewel gives him his best chance to shine in the series for that reason. He literally duked it out with Tacitus in the Wood Memorial, but will be a far greater price in the rematch. Tax has had 4 straight races at 1-1/8 miles or longer in graded stakes company and will not lack fitness. The Belmont Stakes serves as a true home game for this longshot, who has been based in Elmont all winter and spring. Trainer Danny Gargan has yet to win a stakes race at Belmont Park, but has been a high-percentage local outfit in recent years and in the midst of his first foray to the classics.
