I won't debate the Preakness aspect itself, but with Funny Cide -- he was becoming sharper and sharper, and more unmanagable as they got closer to the Belmont. His final work before the Belmont was merely the culmination of what had been going on. This is no reflection on Tagg by the way as I think he is an excellent horseman, and he is very well respected by his peers.
