It's just odd - at least in my head - that the slowest Preakness since 1993 would result in a lifetime top for the winner.

But also one of the lower Beyer figs.

That isn't an issue. Would it be fair to say it was his lifetime best effort? Without a doubt. He ran huge. The number makes a lot of sense from that perspective. And it also means Animal Kingdom ran close to his Derby win, which is also a fair assessment.

Dale Romans doesn't get enough credit. In the last five Triple Crown races he has finished third, second, third, fourth and first.

He knows how to bring them up to a big race with their top effort.

What's most impressive about that to me is that it has been with three different horses.
