![]() Just feels like a couple years ago, you have a pretty nice horse in the Derby winner and not much else, in fact the crop seems even weaker than AP triple crown year. Its hard to find much to nag about with the Derby winner and he just doesnt have to beat much the next two races.
Quick turnaround is the issue given the barn never does that much.

![]() I think those horses suck in context, really, I do. Classic Empire is the only one with talent but obviously cant put it all together.

![]() I tend to agree. There was so much inconsistency in the preps. That said, the combination of the major trouble that many horses encountered in the race and the difficulty of running with mud spraying toward your eyes leaves room for some of this group to come back and look much better in subsequent tries.

Probably 3/4 of the trainers will say "my horse hated the mud" and will try again in the Belmont. I think a lot legitimately believe that. If/when Always Dreaming smokes them on a dry track, then I'll agree

I want a new face, who else is there unless you want to take 4-5 on the Derby winner? I dont and I've never been a Classic Empire fan and he's obviously not a new shooter. Who are the others that look better? I see no one. Its Always Dreaming or Cloud Computing. No one else wins this race |

His Gotham was very strong and he has legit excuses in the Wood. I think he will run very well in Baltimore, and probably outrun his odds, which hopefully can get him there.

Justify obviously is the goods, but that was a grueling grueling race, the toughest event of his young career, can he step up again and be competitive we shall see. Not since, I believe smarty jones has a horse won the Preakness after a Muddy Derby Win. past casualties mine that bird, super saver, orb, always dreaming |

the box and especially when concerning historical numbers are involved in the fray. good retort about Rachel, you have me there. we both know muddy tracks change results and the others mentioned were not even competitive in their Baltimore pilgrimage. And fittingly for this occasion, as EA Poe said it best “Believe only half of what you see and nothing that you hear” Justify exudes being the goods, but with track condition, youth(as bubble will burst sometime in next 90 days) and the sheer fact of, which has not been talked about enough on how grueling a race that colt ran to win derby, has me in the diversify with an insurance policy investment. As going into this race I trust Good Magic to show up and produce quality effort the most. 3 ways to make money in this Preakness race with the 3 options requiring a tiered, big to small investment 1) Justify wins and PRESS Good Magic back with pieces and peeps can flip the two, rinse/repeat 2) One of the big 2 wins and the other runs off 3) someone else wins,Yahtzee |
