he's looking pretty good in all of his morning work so far, so fingers crossed in the bob baffert camp spot for the race. talk about why that spot can be a disadvantage or an advantage. >> well i mean, i think it actually could be an advantage. you know i mean the number one post position at the kentucky derby can often be a disadvantage because of you have a 20-horse field to navigate. in the preakness the field is more manageable this year only eight horses for example. and in the kentucky derby american pharoah was in the middle of the racetrack around both the turns. he actually spotted some significant ground to firing line the runner up and dortmund the third place finisher. if he can maintain his position on the rail with victor espinosa, the number one post can actually be a big help to him in the preakness. >> and talk to me about the differences, the key big ones between churchill downs and this race. >> well, honestly, it's amazing how often the horses from the kentucky derby come back to the preakness two weeks later and maintain their form. in fact, jerry bailey and i, my
