Please, please do not run him in the BC. He is an effort horse. He needs a softer spot or they will kill him. He was very tired after his race against Lava Man. This horse only needs more time and a little confidence. Cant wait to see how he progresses as a 4 year old. I thought he might have been destroyed after that terribly difficult Derby and then a Preakness he had no business running in. I think he can get lots better with time.

Preachinatthebar matched strides with Brother Derek from the far turn to the wire....that doesn't bode well for Brother Derek....I'm not sure if I've seen a horse more overhyped than him in recent memory.....
