I like him for several reasons:
1.He was shown Funny Cides whip at the top of the stretch as he lugged in towards him,maybe even hit in the nose with it.(Look closely on the replay)
2.Gave up 8 lengths or so to Funny Cide on the break from the 12 hole along with traffic and all.Funny Cide had perfect trip,I mean perfect.
3.EM\'s bruised foot?Only 95% for the Derby?
4.Give Frankel three weeks and redemption,me thinks.
There is one more thing,but I can\'t think of it now?
Beaten Derby Fav,high percentage comeback in the Preakness?
Yeah, he \'s not running in the Preakness.

Don\'t mess with me tough guy. He ain\'t running!
Now E.M.inem is out of the Preakness again. Bobby (who has never won a triple crown race) says he would rather win the Travers than the Preakness. He also says maybe he \"pampered\" E.M.inem a bit too much. Well, now he\'s gonna give him 5 more weeks of pampering before a rematch with Funny Cide in the Belmont. There are certain trainers that you just don\'t listen to or if you do listen to them you intrepret what that say exactly opposite to the words they use. Lukas is one of them. Whatever he says you can be fairly sure that ain\'t it. Bobby is another. What Bobby means is he would give whats left of his soul to win a triple crown race and that he ran E.M.inem too much in the races leading up to the derby. Now, he\'s gonna give him five weeks in an attempt to ambush Funny at the Belmont in order to get what he really wants, A triple crown victory. When you think he\'s alive he\'s dead and when you think he\'s dead he\'s still alive.
