Default Belmont news - Rags & Jazil's brother running

Friend send this to me this am, I don't know source:

"The 140th running of the Belmont, the final leg of the Triple Crown, has already generated intrigue with Japanese invader, Casino Drive, scheduled to run in the 1 ˝-mile race. The significance of this global participation is that Casino Drive was foaled by Better Than Honour, the dam of the last two Belmont Stakes winners, Jazil and the filly Rags to Riches."

He's supposed to prep in the Peter Pan at the end of May. Some other Japanese colt shipped over with him and is also pointing to the Belmont.

I'm guessing that is the connection to the great Colin?
