Folded up is questionable and he got beat by two better horses that day. His first loss in 7 starts 2 more weeks of rest than the others. Then there's the chance and the money.

Asses him and if he's fit and kicking down the barn run'em. Baffert'll figure it out I'm sure and do the right thing. I've told Bob, after meeting him at Saratoga a few years back, to call me any time he needs advice.

Then again AP may be more likely to take the Belmont than the Preakness. He may have run a mile and half to win yesterday.
