i think the preakness was the better field, BUT...the champ got knocked out, and pretty much took bro derek off his game, and out of contention when he stopped in front of him. as for SNS, it was one too many at that point. i'll be surprised if he makes it back before years end.
the belmont was definitely the weakest field this year.
i just can't seem to quite wrap my mind around them skipping the third jewel with bernardini. wasn't like he was put thru a grinder this spring, he took it pretty easy. i really think they aimed specifically for the preakness to pull a 'red bullet', and play spoiler. i could be wrong....but it's what i think.
