Not necessarily break down, but tell you what. You have my Preakness write-up, where I point out the similarities between Nyquist and Barbaro. My comments for Barbaro in the 2006 Preakness are in the Archives, as are my comments for Eight Belles in the Derby. In her case, read both the comments on her individually and in the bottom line.

What we'll do is this. Next time one comes up and I say it, contact me, and we'll do something like bet the horse doesn't make more than one start after the next one for the next 6 months.

Getting sick was the best thing that could have happened to Nyquist.
