I really don't think that you can blame anyone for not pointing toward the Preakness. The Ky Derby is the goal. I don't know how many starts Unbridled had before the Derby. Street Sense's two starts was a big deal because it's been 50 yrs or something since anyone had won with less than 3. Historically, horses that are cranked up for the Derby are still cranked up for the Preakness. The majority, in recent times have cruised in the Preakness.

I imagine Hard Spun will be 9/5 and Street Sense 2-1. Can't see Curlin worse than 4-1. I think Curlin might be ready to throw in a clunker. The rule, normally is 3 and out. That's why I left him off my Derby tri

Street Sense may have avoided the rail at Keeneland because it wasn't the place to be. Don't know what will be the strategy in Baltimore. Do you think someone will sit on the rail just to make SS go around? Churchill or Pimlico - if they're bunched up on the turn, he's going to blow by 'em like they're sitting still.
