Absolutely, I didn’t want justify to win today, but atleast the Belmont is a lot more exciting now

Read the tea leaves here....

Mike said it was a combination of Justify getting a little tired and waiting on horses. Mike said he thinks Justify could improve off this effort.

I think any trainer would say what Baffert said.

Jeez, Justify JUST WON the Preakness and already w/in 2 seconds somebody has the snatch "the treat" right outs of his mouth. :D

(My dog wouldn't like that if you did that to him. :lol: He's a gentle Lab, but he might bite you for that)

Statements against interest are more believable.

Smith's admission that the horse was tired was the honest part of the statement.

I don’t think he’s got the foundation to win the grueling test that is the Belmont.

I'll agree with this.

I wonder if Solomini will go in the Belmont? That one seems like he could run all day if he could get his act together, but he would probably have to run in a vacuum.

Agreed, did Good Magic win it for the others? This a legitimate question before the touting starts.. Final times say we have a nice field for the Belmont regardless..

I agree but it was GD goop and he was outside the whole time (what is that on TG) against a very good horse. IF he can rest enough in 3 weeks he can do it. #BetterthanParoah

imo track seemed more tiring for Preakness than the other races on the card, (maybe something to do with the hour between races). Pace slower than Sir Barton yet closers still figured prominently, Lone Sailor made up something like 8 lengths on Justify from KYD to today??

Horse who wins KY Derby has target on back, Lukas threatened to send, so did Brown.

I give credit to GM for "being able to do it". Wasn't sure his strategy "run it like a match race" was a good strategy on Brown's part

If they did that, not sure anyone would’ve touched him. Why did justify tire at the end? Is he just tiring through the triple crown process? Or was it the battle he was engaged in.

You probably thought Desormeaux should have gone wide with Exaggerator on the off track 3 years ago....

Not sure about 3 years ago but today I would much rather be on the outside in a match race scenario.
