Viewed the race similarly. Nyquist was dead game, but Uncle Lino took a big enough piece of him to leave him vulnerable. That head to head was a ding dong thing of some beauty.
Thought the early fractions were too severe for either of them to endure, but Lino's fade is likely at least in part to a tendon injury that has his future in doubt.
Really felt I had a wicked coup going until it was clear the speed duel was official and I agree it was Gutierrez who stole my wager, though a horse can break down for any reason.
I'm high on the Mo's and Uncle Lino is very closely bred to Shackleford on the female side and I had fond memories of that Preakness.
Its a long T.C. dry spell, but something says the breakthrough will offset the pain.
