Owner said before the Preakness that the horse will get time off and target a return in the CCA Oaks and then the Cotillion.

He ruled out the Alabama because he doesn't think she wants to run 10 furlongs.

If this was the '80s Lukas would have considered an Alabama-Travers double. Or at least the PA Derby.

They didn't rule out the Alabama.

I source my info from Google so it must be right:

The owner of Briland Farm in Lexington, Ky., outlined what would be a relatively light schedule after the middle jewel of the Triple Crown. It would resume with the July 23 Coaching Club American Oaks (G1) at Saratoga, skip the Aug. 20 Alabama (G1) because of concerns about the mile-and-a-quarter distance and use the Sept. 24 Cotillion at Parx in Bensalem, Pa., as a prelude to the Breeders’ Cup Distaff on Nov. 5 at Keeneland.

I only throw it out there because he apparently said it at some point. There's obviously plenty of time for him to backpedal or for Lukas to convince him otherwise.

I wonder who was the first person to suggest Untapable might be a generational talent

I say it after every race about every horse in the race from $5K claimers to graded stakes horses. Of course, the horses never turn out to be generational talents but I am never wrong that they might have become a generational talent.
