The thing is that even though Storm in May and Deadly Dealer were ahead of him in Arkansas doesn't mean I think they are better horses. Many factors can play into why a race order of finish comes in the way that it does without it meaning that the order determines the actual rank of the horses. Again, I personally thought that FFC was the second best horse in the race in Arkansas. What Storm in May did in the Derby has nothing to do with the Preakness and FFC. At least not that I see.

Really? I think it has a lot more to do with it than your references to Winning Colors and Lion Heart. What does that have to do with FCC or Curlin? FCC was beaten a ton by Curlin, TWICE, RECENTLY. Even an off effort or a bounce by Curlin wouldn't put FCC in spitting distance of Curlin at the end. And that leaves the not so small matter of the rest of the field for FCC to deal with.
