Could be a nice betting race- No 20/1 but some decent prices especially if the public gets happy on Sunriver and Bernardini

agreed! HUGE difference between small and weak.

but do you really think he'll bounce off the preakness? he's had a nice long rest. he did run huge in MD, and obviously would have to run incredibly well to match his # there.
but that race fell apart and right into his lap. i'm not saying that horse isn't the goods, he may turn out to be so. but i'm not ready to sing his praises off that preakness.

i agree he's a bet against. no way they want him to run his best here with the travers coming up...also, his odds won't be worth the walk to cash a ticket. use him in your tris.

You guys seen the ML

Sunriver at 7/2

Minister's Bid/Dr Pleasure 5/2 ????????????

Bernardini 4/5
