Which post position is ideal for Dortmund?

I’m late, I know. In a way Dortmund reminds me of Lawyer Ron. Incredible early speed, absolutely no turn-of-foot. I expected him to pack it in at the top of the stretch so kudos for fighting through the entire stretch. Never heard of Firing Line’s damsire, didnt expect him to stay with AP. Victor rode AP early and often, I’m very surprised it played out like that and that he had enough to hold off FL. I didn’t cash a single ticket, but it was well worth seeing Andy Beyer’s pick finish dead last. Keep up the great work Keelerman!

Hi Kevin! I like your comparison of Dortmund to Lawyer Ron — there are definitely some striking similarities!

Indeed, Dortmund fought on well in the homestretch, and I think his effort was particularly notable considering that the rail may not have been the place to be at Churchill on Derby day. With a cutback in distance for the Preakness, over what will likely be a less tiring racetrack, I think Dortmund might have a shot to turn the tables on American Pharoah.
