Again, you have some of the worst (or most selective) reading comprehension skills I've ever seen.
I guess I misinterpreted the whole thread. I foolishly thought that the point of the thread was that you were suggesting that horses who win the Derby from further off the pace are at a disadvantage in the Preakness compared to horses who win the Derby from close to the pace. And in addition, I thought you were saying that horses who win the Derby from further off the pace are good horses to bet against in the Preakness. I guess that is not what you were suggesting.

The point of the thread was that Orb, Golden Soul, Revolutionary, and Mylute were all at a relative advantage in the Kentucky Derby.

The pace of the race was WAY over +20.

At no point did I suggest, they were at a disadvantage in the Preakness.

Each race is its own entity ... and who is to say the Preakness pace won't also be historically fast?
