If that's really true about Jakefigs it's amazing. They have a natural fit pairing the winner and DR to their last-- assuming they got the ground right this time.
Didn't want to get into the weeds on this but they were framed into what they did for the Derby by having a couple of horses too wide (and we went back and checked). Because of that, going the other way would have forced them to give several new tops out to also-rans, so they went the way they did, which if their ground had been right would have been the correct thing to do.
If you're right about the way Jake/Len did the Preakness I can only guess they tied it to other races, which under the circumstances would be truly unbelievable. But since they won't post the whole day and the lemmings won't ask (and wouldn't get an answer if they did) we'll never know.
