Toppled,
there is almost NOTHING to be learned from the Preakness. Zippo. Assume this isn't your first rodeo and u understand what sloppy tracks do to races how the figures coming out of such races always need to be viewed that through that lens.
AP proved in the Oaklawn race that he loves the slop. He ran to it in the Preakness. If we get slop at Belmont, that would matter, otherwise, not so much....
If you believed after the Derby that AP was far and away the best of this class, then the Preakness reconfirmed it for you.
If you believed after the Derby that AP was a very good horse, but not far and away the best of this class and potentially vulnerable at short prices, the Preakness should not dissuade you, unless you want to attack him on a wet track in the future..
