<P> 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 on the lead , but felt the colt 's inside post position and the lack of other early speed horses did n't leave Ortiz with many options . </P>
