It seems to me that horses didn't learn to bounce until Ragozin invented the theory.
Horses bounce off of every type of figure, Beyer, TG, Ragozin, whatever.

I'm not eliminating the possibility that they run huge races back-to-back. But considering Nafzger's Derby-or-bust strategy and considering how strenous Hard Spun's race in the Derby looked TO ME, I think they both are vulnerable to regression and hence, why I don't like them in the Preakness.

Hope that you didn't cringe reading that.
