    By JIM LITKE -- Associated Press
     NEW YORK (AP) -- Going in, D. Wayne Lukas was convinced he had the most "dead-fit" thoroughbred in the Belmont. Coming out, he had a horse that was neither fit nor, thankfully, dead. With that mixed blessing, racing will have to make do for another year.

      ELMONT, N.Y. -- This was supposed to be Charismatic's claim to fame, a triumphant celebration to boost the spirits and profile of the weary sport of kings.
