Did he hit rock bottom w/the LP 83?
Baltimore - 98/107/83
Kentucky - 100/102/92
California - 100/105/117

Just food for thought, the last fraction for the Derby is only two furlongs, while the last fraction for the Preakness is 3.5 furlongs. On the TimeformUS adjusted fractions, which take into account things like track speed and the different track configurations, they look like this from the mile point to the wire:
Derby: 25.22
Preakness: 19.34 (25.79 converted to 1/4 mile)
If you go from the 6f pole to the wire:
Derby: 51.08
Preakness: 43.90 (50.17 converted to a half mile)
I post this to point out comparing those late ratings is apples to oranges, far apart in distance.
