Taking a different approach for a change . . .

Race 13: $33 tri 1/3,5,7/3,5,7 = $198
Enjoy the Day!!!

And going with National Treasure to win. Baffert would not be bringing him all the way to the east coast if he disn't think he was primed and ready to throw in a big race, IMHO

Key word being "primed." Hard to rule Baffert out even if he is running his 2nd and 3rd stringers, we have all learned the hard way. On paper, it looks like Mage might get a much slower pace, but everyone said that about the Derby too. Guess it all depends how patient those little men that ride want to be. Maybe they'll be more reasonable since the field is so small and little chance of being caught behind a wall of horses.

It's odd. A lot of our players like National Treasure. Nobody likes Mage.

The current odds for the Preakness appear to be way out of kilter, although this is only the early betting. The odds on Chase the Chaos simply should not be in the single digits - same goes for Coffeewithchris, who might be a pace factor but I don't see as still being around when the real running starts.

As for liking NT, pace does make the race a lot of the time, and Johnny V already showed us in the Sir Barton that he knows how to "walk the dog".

In Reality.......I had a Derby Future Wager on National Teasure....he was denied points early and missed the San Felipe....50-1....came back in the new Preak Future and bet the ALL OTHERS as he was in it....13-1...

Turned out that many of us were right!?

And he did walk the dog named National Treasure and won.

That dog was not exactly a greyhound, but he got the job done. Looked like for a moment there that the Chad/Irad combo was going to spoil the party, but seems like if you give a Baffert trained horse the lead, they rarely give it up.

I watched a bit more telecast yesterday than usual. Randy Moss was advocating for more time between the Triple Crown races. He said it should be the first Saturday in May and then same in June and July and there probably wouldn't be a small field like we saw yesterday. Probably right about that, but can't see it changing anytime soon.

The folks that say that track maintenance people make tracks speed up on big days seem to be supported by the results yesterday. I think there were at least 3 track records set.

I was talking with my grandson yesterday and he seems to be getting interested in racing. I told him he should join our group, but doubt if he will. In college at the University of Arkansas. His mother probably wouldn't appreciate my siren's song just yet.

Take him to the track and see if he gets the bug.

I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN 100% AGAINST 2 WEEKS TO PREAKNESS

HAVE ALWAYS PROPSED THAT IDEA OF 4 WEEKS BETWEEN

UNFORTUNATELY TRADITION WILL PREVENT COMMON SENSE

HOW MANY HORSES MUST DIE TO CAUSE A CHANGE 😿

There are a number of cogent arguments that have been made about extending the time between triple crown races. I think that we could have a healthy discussion of the benefits versus the adherence to tradition.

However, I have to take issue with your claim that horses are dying because of the two week interval. Nothing can support the claim of your last sentence. Havinameltdown's breakdown was tragic, but that was not part of the triple crown competition.
