Term of Art owns a maiden and a Grade III off-the-turf score from 2016 but has been blanked in four straight Santa Anita graded stakes preps this spring. He did manage a pick-up-the-pieces third in the overheated San Felipe S. when Mastery (Candy Ride (Arg)}) annihilated the field, but his six-wide move off the turn in the slowly run stretch drive of the Santa Anita Derby was only good enough to earn Term of Art seventh. He is likely to go off as the longest shot on the board in the Preakness, and the price will reflect Term of Art's lack of sharp early speed and absence of a commanding closing kick.
