Thanks in advance.

There will be a press release from the @DerbyMedia notes team fairly soon..

Initial reports from DRF's Privman, McGee & Grening circulating on backstretch is that everyone came back well..

Justify looked tired after Derby yesterday, bright and alert this morning: https://twitter.com/TwinSpires/statu...03028352888832

Justify appears to be something very special. Can we have to TC winners this close together . . . just asking? That would be a thrill!!!

Any Derby horses that had a terrible run that could come back well in the Preakness? Any horses that took the Derby off that could compete in the Preakness? Justify looks impressive, possibly a lock for the Preakness.

Yes but it's a hard rule "There are no locks in horse racing" unless you have another American Pharoah. NYRA must be a buzz thinking about another TC possibility. Especially with a horse like Justify.

Of course. For every American Pharoah, there are 10 Orbs or Smarty Joneses or Big Browns or even Barbaros. No guarantees at all. I was a big doubter of Justify heading into the Derby. He proved me wrong. Instilled Regard running 4th further bolsters his resume, not that he needed it.
