I have a hard time tying her to the fields she ran against, though, because she beat them so easily and while coming home extremely quickly with less-than-advantageous set-ups. I refuse to swallow 4-5 on the very overrated Shared Account--even though she still towers over these on paper--and think there's enough of a chance that Desert Sage is as good as she looked to me visually to key her hard against the chalk. I guess I still have to use Shared Account, though. These races kind of suck compared to Churchill's Derby Day card. . .
I charted the last 4 Preakness day cards and they were very chalky to the point of being almost unplayable. A few bombs hit last year but it was truly the exception... The Blackeyse Susan / Preakness double has paid well though.
