Well, if what you are positing is true, then it would be good business to protect his stud value by not subjecting him to a high-profile loss.

Breeding industry doesn't care that much about the ability to run 1 1/2 miles. Its about speed. The Belmont stakes is an after thought if the triple crown is not involved. It won't even be the best race on that days card. Its a smart move for Lucky to wait and choice a better spot for this next race.
