Will they continue upon the Triple Crown trail?
I'd like to see more as I don't think we got his best yesterday.

I know enough about context that I'm guessing you meant Tapit Trice. Either way, I know what you meant.
Quality field and tough circumstances this year. (i know we whine every year that every year is the worst apocalypse)
Derma Sotogake had a terrible break, but would have finished 6th or worse had things gone to plan.
If he had decided to be conservative and rate the best he could have finished was 'fourth', so although dissapointing, his 'sixth' this year was about as good as possible given the circumstances and trip.
I have no idea what their plans are.
Preakness looks tough in that Mage is too good should he run his race back.
I doubt Forte and/or Two Phil's run in the Preakness but that makes 3 that are super tough to beat straight up.
Depending on who is entered, Derma could potentially have a better trip on the lead in the Preakness than he would have had in the Derby.
He's a Grade 1 or 2 horse and I'd love to see him run.
