nah, think he beat a really bad field and got a very good ride....he can definitely pick up checks against the 2nd group of 3yo sprinters.

He tripped out for sure, but horses like him with natural speed will make the trip. The runner up has a big race at 7f and got a big pace to run into and couldnt get him. I thought he was OK today.

Emerging sires really on display in the Preakness this year.....
Bodemeister: Always Dreaming
Pioneer of the Nile: Classic Empire
Uncle Mo: Conquest Mo Money/Royal Mo
Dialed In: Gunnevera
Lookin At Lucky: Lookin At Lee

I'd say the Preakness is a pretty good calling card for Empire Maker also.
He's the sire of Bodemeister and Pioneer of the Nile.
I guess that's how you become a "sire of sires"........I suspect EM stud fee is going to crack 100k for 2018(currently 85k).

Not likely to run in Belmont. Per Chad Brown in Bloodhorse:

""I'll speak to Bill Farish, who manages this horse, and we'll go from there. We had spoken earlier in the day that if we had some success here, the Haskell (G1) is a race that we have a lot of interest in, with maybe one race between now and then," Brown said of the colt's near future. "He doesn't strike me as a mile-and-a-half horse, but I'm not going to declare him out of the (Belmont Stakes). I'll discuss that with Mr. Farish, but that wasn't really my plan going in here. We're still in the developmental stage with this horse."
