I am glad NRYA was happy he didn't run in the Preakness, but I am sure Frank could care less about a triple crown race he would have finished 2nd at best.
Stronach has shown patience if the past is any indication, Awesome Again was a later developer than Touch Gold and it's fair to say Awesome Again became the better horse when their careers ended. Stronach never rushed that horse and he won the Plate off a Mdn win I believe mostly on talent alone...He certainly has becone the better sire, I think the comparison with Harlem Rocker is a good one!
