I would presume American Pharaoh would be under at least a little pressure to keep pace with the likes of Dortmund and Firing Line, who picked it up a bit from the 1/2 mile fraction to the 3/4 fraction.

Definitely not the same as chasing Bridget's Big Luvy anyways.

Perhaps that's it, but maybe not. I was thinking he was having an off day, but I have no way of knowing that.

Seeing that American Pharaoh won, clearly he didn't have an off day.

Upstart probably had an off day though.

I agree, it doesn't seem likely, hence my ambiguity regarding this race.

It is possible though for a horse to have an off day and win though.

Yeah, especially in the Kentucky Derby.

So, let me get this straight.

If AP rolls by open lengths in the Preakness, will you come back and say he maybe had an off day in the Derby?

Depends on if Firing Line and Dortmund have off days at Pimlico.
