That probably cost him the W in that race and could conceivably lose him a spot in the big dance as well.

With Street Sense, Great Hunter, Ketchikan, Belgravia, and Twilight Meteor all running there among others it would seem to be a very tough spot to expect to do better than 3rd. Even 2nd wouldn't guarantee him of getting in. They should alter plans and go to the Arkansas Derby instead where the competition will be easier and a second place finish will get him the graded earnings for sure.
