Were California Chrome and Ride on Curlin the only two horses from the Preakness? It’s a lot tougher coming off that a few weeks ago.

No, also General a Rod.

7 horses - just about a record recently - came from the Derby. Nice to see actually. More than half the field was in the TC trail.

Exactly. That is why it is so hard to win the TC. You have fresh horses in a longer race.

But that is why a triple is so special. If it was easy anyone could do it.

Tonalist was coming off the Peter Pan I believe a week before the Preakness.

The California Chrome owner came off like a sore loser.
