Minutes after his win the trainer was talking about being behind the eight ball for the classics, but because they thought so much of him he was nominated anyways, and will probably try to go that direction with him.

I'm paraphrasing what he said.

I guess they could conceivably make the Preakness. This horse is about as far along as Bernardini was at this point in the year. They would be rushed to do it, but it is possible. I think they would be better off taking their time and pointing for races like the Haskell and Travers.
