I figured. But the comment seemed stale, seeing how the connections of both horses opted out of the Belmont about 5 minutes after the Preakness.

That was an interesting race the other day by Desert Dynamo. Not sure there was much behind him.

Forest Blue is a very good horse, at least around one turn. Unfortunately, he has been pushed hard, first by facing graded stakes horses a couple of weeks after winning his belated debut, then wheeling right back from there to go two turns. One can't expect him to last too long.
At least he placed in both those races. If they take a more patient approach, he might be a contender for a race like the King's Bishop.

There was once talk about Kentuckian being aimed for the Preakness. That seemed premature to me and I'm glad it worked out the way it did.

Don't know who did that talking. Must have been the same people who thought it was a good idea to run Forest Music in the BC Juvenile Fillies after her maiden win.

I think Kentuckian could be any kind. If he goes long successfully, like I suspect he should, it could make a great matchup should he and AP square off.

The cryptic "better horse in the crop" than American Pharoah.
Hopefully, if such a matchup takes place, it will developed better than War Emblem versus Came Home showdown in the 2002 Pacific Classic.
