I think Han Solo said it better:

Pimlico is going to destroy Gulfstream’s record for liberal use of the term “0 MTP” today!

Apparently, Chad Brown didn’t like the ride on Good Magic. Funny, because if I would have bet on GM to win, I would have been just fine with it.

Well he wasn't going to win with any other trip (see Derby), so kudos for trying something different and making a race out of it instead of a simple merry-go-round.

I thought preakness day was okay.
i hit the pick3. pick4, and the super...bet 50 left with 130...
turned 1 to 5 into 8 to 5..

what type of ride could you give a colt on a day like that.
if the colt decides to run off angry about his situation, not a lot you can do.

pleased, if appears, there were no broken bones in that mess.

I didn't love it; I just don't think he could have done that much else. Good Magic broke really well and it looked like Smith and Justify never wanted to clear. I guess Jose could have wrangled the horse back some, but then that brings in the possibility of being stuck wide and or behind another horse or two, which didn't seem to be the place to be on Saturday. I think Quip not showing up changed some plans pretty quickly as well.

Do I think the ride cost him 2nd though? Absolutely...and that's where I needed him to finish.

I'd definitely love to hear others' thoughts though.
