And now your argument has changed to something regarding Eddington's performance in the Preakness? I don't think I could make up your line of reasoning if I tried. With all due respect.

Look at Eddington's race record going into the Belmont, and look at the result of the Preakness. No doubt Eddington later that year turned into a very good horse. I'm just saying that going into the Belmont he indeed had no chance on paper. But I thought no one on paper had a shot going into the Belmont.
