Orb Breezes Half-Mile in 47.18 for Preakness; McGaughey Thrilled

“I thought it was breathtaking,” said McGaughey. “For him to go off nice and relaxed in 24 and change and come home on his own the way he did, and gallop out the way he did, and drop his head and walk home, it sent cold chills up my back.”

His sensory panel is out of whack and he's clearly cross-firing.

Toss.

With Titletown Five in there to make life miserable for all of the tactical speed horses ... and with the defection of Normandy Invasion and now Orb coming out of the race in good order and getting a work in, the dice continue to roll his way.

Tizracer undoubtedly also deserves a spot in the Preakness.

He beat Orb by 20 lengths in this 2yo race:

How you miss the relevance is beyond me.

I assumed the point was that 9 months ago, in Orb's debut, when he was far from the race horse he is now, even at a distance far more favorable for Titletown Five, Orb was already a much better horse.

What other point could anyone be making by showing that race?

I'm fairly certain he was doing that at the end of his last work at CD too.

It would be a beautiful thing if a horse could win the Derby and everyone waited to speak of the Triple Crown until after that horse also won the Preakness.
