Stretch run was vaguely reminiscent of the 2003 Wood Memorial when heavily favored Empire Maker had a tough time asserting superiority over Funny Cide.

Not convinced that Highly Motivated will handle the added distance, though; he jumped back to his left lead at the 1/16th pole and that pretty much put an end to the dogfight.

I wonder if Chad Brown will wait for the Preakness.

I’d love to see him in the Met Mile.
