It wasn't an impossible trip and he really stopped. It was a lot better trip than the derby.

I still think he is a good horse, but definitely have major doubts

I wonder if he heads to NY for the test of champions?
I think he has to redirect to the minor Derbies and he could possibly find the Winner's Circle again.

Running like he has in the last two, I wouldn't pick him in the Pomona Derby.

Well, I'm the guy who sent out the Preakness-Derby trivia earlier (and encouraged on MTB). It's the first time I've hit a Triple Crown Race trifecta, which didn't pay a ton, but it beats the alternative.
