The point of the thread was that Orb, Golden Soul, Revolutionary, and Mylute were all at a relative advantage in the Kentucky Derby.
The pace of the race was WAY over +20.
At no point did I suggest, they were at a disadvantage in the Preakness.
Each race is its own entity ... and who is to say the Preakness pace won't also be historically fast?
