I always use a MD. based horse in the Preakness. Mint Slewep has a chance for getting a 3rd or 4th place finish. I don't like a Xchanger I thought he cam out of a very weak Federico Tesio Stks and Hard Spun will just destroy him early. MS has a nice 5f drill over the Pim. surface. The only negative is that Robbie Bailes put Alan Garcia instead of MD. based jockey. Garcia is a very good jock but I rather have Caraballo/Desormeaux on him who know how to ride Pimlico. It's a stab worth taking.

Just using the "top 3" Derby finishers...tossing everyone else into the "4th" slot in supers.

I'm tossing every horse not entered yesterday. I'm willing to admit that they have 0% chance to win.

I'd have a really hard time tossing a horse who really has never ran a bad race.

I'm reading from the same newsletter TG. I think he's a great horse, but the pace set up and the toll of the Derby. I'm playing him out of the top two spots.

You have to take a stand against someone and in the Preakness Exacta for me it's Hard Spun.

With THIS asterisk: If it's very wet, he's a must play. 1 for 1 SLY, huge wet Tommy. Xchanger moves up in the wet stuff too.

Toss flying first class....No chance to get in the money at this distance.
