Closing Argument ran these splits:

22.70 23.80 23.93 25.51 26.91

His first 6f's was very solid and he was always within 2 lengths of Bellamy Road who completely fell apart.High Fly is a miler at best.Afleet Alex needs soft fractions in a two turn race to have any punch.He didn't get them and won't in Baltimore.Honestly,the winner didn't run any different from the way he's been running in Cal.Slow and steady.Closing Argument ran a really nice MILE -after that it was a case of the field being wretched.What a bunch of pigs.

The Preakness is begging for a new shooter.

Giacomos splits:

24.78 23.44 24.33 24.55 25.65 steady grinder.
