When you factor in his trip today (slow pace on a golden rail in the slop) combined with Pletcher's lack of foundness for the Preakness he's a play against as the favorite next time.
I mean it's hard to get excited about a horse who tripped out and still only ran 2:03 and a half.
Horses can improve rapidly but right now he's probably 20+ lengths slower than Arrogate.

I've heard the "tripped out" now for two races. Isn't the saying really good horses rarely get a bad trip?
