Hope to see him run back in the Belmont....I reallly liked him and had him on a few tickets plus a solid win/place bet :wf

He seems the type of horse that could do well there, not sure if the shortest distance this year helps him or hurts him. I’m wondering what Chad’s plan for Garamond is. Hasn’t gone two turns yet but seems to have distance pedigree.

No Preakness for Sovereignty

Pointing for Belmont

My Preakness Futures bet on “All Others” is looking worse and worse.

None of the confirmed horses are covered. I need Hypnus, Bullard, and Goal Oriented (or Garamond or someone like that) to run.

I’ll take it at 22/1.

Sandman a Preakness go..

Sandman adds to increasingly good Preakness. Awaiting Journalism decision..

Journalism on to Baltimore..

Journalism a Preakness starter..

I no longer like my “All Others” Preakness futures bet.
