Personally I have never been this lost regarding a horse. My heart wants him to win the Belmont. My head tells me he is dressed up. I have read some smart people say that the slop makes it hard to take anything definitive away from the Preakness. The one thing I am sure of is that AP loves the slop. His romp in Arkansas and now yesterday confirms that. So the slop helped him. He ran hard early to make the lead, and came home slow. This is understandable. Again he was never really asked to run, he just glided around the track. Some people say the fresh shooters are more dangerous, well did yesterday take anything out of AP? I'm not sure it did. I don't know what to make of this horse. I said it on here after the Derby I think he romps in the Preakness and gets beat in the Belmont. I'm not sure about that anymore. I think turning for home he is clear, who is running him down? 20 days and we find out.
