where did good magic place in the preakness?
fourth
good magic's connections decided to race him just two weeks later in the 2018 preakness stakes, where he again faced justify over a sloppy track. this time, ortiz decided to press the pace more closely and raced side by side with justify until mid-stretch. at that point, justify started to inch away while bravazo and tenfold started closing rapidly. in a blanket finish, good magic finished fourth to justify, but just one length behind. the change in tactics was somewhat controversial, with ortiz feeling that he had "messed up". brown was also disappointed because good magic does not like to be on the lead, but felt the colt's inside post position and the lack of other early speed horses didn't leave ortiz with many options.
