These owners and/or trainers will make up any excuse to keep there value as a stallion from falling. His injury in The Derby was not enough to be an excuse for his poor showing otherwise he would have been given time off. Or don't they care about their own animal? But there might have been something developing from it that just turned it to a full blown injury after coming back just two weeks later from a rough run Derby. As for his "good" workout. How taxing could it be to breeze five furlongs compared to actually race a longer distance in stressful competition. The Preakness should have been passed on and instead finished FF off.
