Problem with the Preakness, is it was a MUDBATH. Sec didn’t have to face this at all in the TC. Everything was fast.
AP is no Sec, but still it has to be seen in context. And it is what speed figures are for, too (AP’s just are not that good, even for a top-level 3yo; I’m hoping he’ll get better).
That horse is going to pasture. Stud fees will be outrageous.
