I\'m not nearly as proficient using TG numbers as most on this board and never will be, but from what I see of Dublin\'s number in the Derby he ran just as well as anybody. if he is given a better post than SS and can pair or move forward he is more likely to win the Preakness than any of the Derby horses, if I am reading this correctly.
As I said in another post, this smells of Horse Gods intervention...Gomez is in a great spot to rebound.
If his odds are any good, this could make for a very good score.
IMO Dublin is the classic sucker horse. He just never gets there, always seems to find a way to get a wide trip and yet comes back with a decent enough number to look tempting in his next race. To me he\'s a headcase and Lukas hasn\'t figured him out yet. Sooner or later he will probably fire a big race and win one, but I don\'t think it is going to be in the Preakness.
If he were mine I would go back to 7F or 1M around 1 turn at Belmont with this guy to try to get him back on track.

I agree and to me off those 4 efforts, I think he\'s a bad bet short term, I am betting on an off race, off that line
Looking at the chart, after a strong middle move, he didn\'t really run a step after the 8F pole in the Derby, losing ground to all 6 horses that finished in front of him.
