Default tough angle to figure for the Preakness

According to Harold Camping (see http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-501465_1...51-501465.html), the Rapture will begin on May 21, 2011 in New Zealand in the form of a cataclysmic earthquake which will sweep around the world and hit the Baltimore area at about 6:00 pm eastern standard time.

Since posttime is 6:05 pm, do I just forgo placing any bets, or do I hope that they can get the race off before the END?

Also, recognizing the unique earthquake-sensing ability that some animals are reputed to possess, do I factor that into my handicapping analysis by downgrading the horses I deem to be the most sensisitve?

Go to DRF.com and read Dan Illman's take on this insanity Rapture crap. His story is hilarious especially his ending of why this can't happen.

If we're on our way out I definitely want to have tickets in my hand.

You will have 5 months to cash, this is just day one, the world doesn't end until October.

So, this will be our last chance to see a Triple Crown winner? Go Animal Kingdom!

Perhaps the mighty Kegasus will save us from the 4 horsemen.

I'm not counting on him.
Time to liquidate my assets and bet it all on Animal Kingdom to Win.

Exactly! I want an over/under on the seismic force as well as a parlay on the initial death toll.

Beyond that, I want to do an all/all super with Mr. Commons in all four slots.
