Im still struggling with whether or not the guy is serious or not. I feel bad for the guy if he honestly thinks that the Derby has shown thatTrinniberg can hang with Bodemeister. One can sustain and one wilts.

Anyone can write a story for Bleacher Report, so it's not like this is a professional journalist. . . Just an idiot.

I know that things can change on a whim, but is Trinniberg even under consideration for the Preakness at this point?

I thought I read he was being pointed for the Woody Stephens. (Or is it the Riva Ridge?)

I liked this Twitter response particularly:

Josh Dutzy ‏ @JoshD3173
@AKonSports you wrote the worst horse racing article I have ever read, that is all.

Interesting tidbit from Jerardi of DRF:

As to this Derby, I am now convinced that, unless your horse has top-end speed, you really want to be in the auxiliary gate. Since 1995, in races with 16 or more horses, the second gate has produced eight winners or exactly 50 percent.
