Confirmed

Street Sense

Xchanger
Slew's Tizzy
CP West
Starbase or Flying First Class

Possible

Teuflesberg
Curlin
Sedgefield


Wouldn't exactly be the toughest rendition of the Preakness in recent years. Who do you all think could challenge Street Sense?

may be going out on a limb here (:rolleyes: ) but i think todd pletcher won't be winning the preakness either.


i like king of the roxy, but not for routing.

Xchanger and Hard Spun might have good chances to knock off SS

The value of 'freshness' is overrated in distance races. You want horses who are FIT, not fresh.

A classic placing would make his stallion value zoom. "See, this is a fast sprinter who can run [sort of] long as well!" The Team Valor partnership will want to put as much stallion value into him as they can before they sell him for stud, since his pedigree is not that fashionable.
