preakness is a whole new ball game. anything can happen. no two races are run the same way.

did someone hit the exacta?

btw

Zanjero had plenty of excuses
he checked repeatedly and running 3rd would have given me the trifecta 2 times... so ofcourse he couldn't get there
ofcourse the only one that was moving was Street Sense
everyone else was just playing pinball.

I never saw the blanket of roses on SS
did he get warm and have to be cooled off?

Let's just remember the Preakness is now the race for new shooters and Maryland wannabes...I don't think any of us can be certain we will see Hard Spun or Curlin in Baltimore. I know Pletcher has already ruled all five of his entries that went today out.

No certainity, but I'm just saying, the middle jewel might not be as big a contest and people are thinking.

Now the Belmont...

Dunno if he got warm per se but Calvin got a wet sponge and gave him a sqeeze all over his head and flank to which Street Sense sorta went 'hey thanks man that feels good' in horse speak. I didn't see sweat dripping off him on the tv but who knows. He seemed fine and Calvin was taking care of his boy's comfort quite joyfully. The flowers did get on him...it's just that the winner's circle stuff moved pretty quickly, probably because they want to take care of the horse and also because Tafel's 83 years old and would probably like to sit down.
