Why did Silverbulletday scratch out of the Preakness?

And did so with a higher figure than Charismatic got for winning the Preakness ... but she pretty much got no real pressure on the front end and won under a moderate hand ride. That is the reason why Chris Antley couldn't let Silverbulletday have her way on the lead in the Belmont. Tough luck for him than Stephen Got Even didn't let him and the filly catch a mid-race breather. If SBD doesn't run in the Belmont, Charismatic would have certainly won the triple crown. In fact, the way Charismatic ran that day ... there's a good chance he might have won the triple crown if he didn't press SBD but kept a close eye on her and wore her down in the final furlong. I've seen bad horses like Da Tara run big in the Belmont though when allowed to have it all there own way .. you can't blame him for taking the fight to her and pinning her.

Well, that might have had a little something to do with it.
Even though 9.5 furlongs is a perfect distance for her and 12fs isn't .. it would have been tough to win a race like the Preakness on just 24 hours rest. I'm just glad she saved us from a Lukas triple crown winner.
