And he is doing it out of the dreaded 1 hole.

I don't think the 1 hole is a big issue for Orb on Saturday. He has won from the 1 before and with all the speed in this field it should allow Rosario to put him in a good position behind the speed and to save ground.

The stuff about post position is wildly overblown. It really doesn't matter.

Just saying those betting on the 1 horse in the Preakness are 1 fer last 50. If anyone can get it done it is Rosario though.
