I was discussing this thought with someone else. He gets 5.5 million for winning the preakness. Could the instructions have been to not go too hard on him?

I know some people are friends with Zito on this board and I don't say this to make up some kind of "conspiracy angle". I know if I had a horse and he was up to win 5.5 million as opposed to 1.2 million, I would probably have that in the back of my mind.

Is this at least plausible?
