the last furlong will be issue with him, but horses best performances are (I believe) usually when they are at the upmost limit of their stamina..btw, you see whose son won the French 2000 Guineas today.

would have liked to have seen Chelokee in the preakness..

yep Astronomer Royal, big shock though. Coolmore had 5 in it, he was at least 4 string, if not 5th..thats his breeding!

maybe that win, and with three of his finishing in the top four, will ease some of o'briens pain over losing holy roman emperor to the shed.

Just read this:
King of the Roxy trainer Todd Pletcher hinted Sunday he might have another horse for the 1 3-16-mile Preakness. Pletcher, who went 0-for-5 in the Derby to run his record in Triple Crown races to 0-for-26, would not say which 3-year-old he was considering.

Any thoughts?

Pletcher has been so awful in Triple Crown races he is now reverting to Vince McMahon tactics...however, instead of mystery wrestlers in a steel cage...Pletcher will run a mystery horse.

It won't be the Undertaker, he's injured!
Maybe "Stone Cold" Soaring By???

I was just going to ask about this. If only 8 are showing up, and his only entry is King of the Roxy, you would think Pletcher would be very tempted to send someone else. I don't think Deadly Dealer or Soaring By would be that effective here, but if CQ did come out of the race OK, I wouldn't see why not. 2nd off a layoff, facing 8 horses instead of 19, with a better distance and plenty of pace to close into.

I still like the Met Mile idea a little bit for CQ, but I'll take anything to make the Preakness a little more interesting than it currently looks on paper.
