I Will Be the First

Well, Bolt d\' Oro declared off the Preakness immediately after the Derby and then vacillated over running in the Preakness during Justify\'s heel bruise shenanigans. In retrospect, do you think he should have taken a shot at the Preakness?  Not sure Bolt d Oro handles goop as well, so maybe it all works out for him.

Not sure who is in the Met Mile. Maybe it is the spot to get Black Type, generally its a stacked race vs olders. Though he is bred to run long, maybe Ruis has made the determination he\'ll be a better one turn horse. Wouldn\'t you like to see Bolt D\'Oro conditioned by a veteran horseman?
