Topcat, Kent said that at no point in the race did he have a horse and that's what it looked like here. Isolated him on replays and he moved towards the rail and then ran wide coming around the final turn, lost ground from there. Don't think the wide or bias was the reason, just not enough horse. The good news unless he was hurting from the get go, he certainly didn't put out much energy that race.
Haven't seen him as a Preakness go yet but if he gets in and its not slop I'll go again. He had to improve to get up there, but he was on a pretty good forge pattern and to me my eye was really bred for it. Look at his final work especially in regard to his race fractions. I thought he was poised.
