Probably Dort has a better chance for the big money in the P. At least if only one of them go. Am P would beat him if they both do. Depends on if they both come out in shape. Baff's said he liked AP more from the start.

You really think baffert would run Dortmund in the Preakness if his derby winner is there?

I think Firing Line is the best choice for the Preakness and Dortmund to the Belmont. But then again, owners aside I'd keep both of them out of each race if I was Baffert. That said, he won't since he's a horseman first and a businessman second.

Baffert told Jay Privman this morning that Dortmund will go to Preakness. Simon Callaghan says Firing Line exited Derby well and is a Pimli-go.

When did Baffert get Firing Line?

Aside from the obvious, what would adding an extra quarter mile do for a horse that had the race is own way and folded up after a mile and a quarter?
