Maclean's Music should not be rushed to make the Preakness. He is not freaking Curlin. If they handle him like a sprinter and don't rush him - he will be a much better sprinter than a Curlin ever was as a router.

I thought Cal Nations maiden race was massively overrated. Nevertheless, it still makes for an interesting race.
