Betting The Preakness

[sumitas]

Street Sense to win over the 2 longest shots on the board; or a show bet on the longest shot.

Street Sense a strong single in pick 3 and 4 wagers.

I was thinking about the Pick 4. Let's see how the card looks.

I doubt I will use anyone besides Street Sense and Hard Spun in the Pick-4.

A Pick 3/ Pick 4 ticket seems like the way to go, especially if you think that one of the "big 3" will win.

Yeah, but he was 9/2 in the derby... he'll be 1/1 at best in the Preakness.. in a much smaller field.

ML Odds should be 5/2 or 2/1 on SS with hiim at 7/5 or even at post.

Curlin probably gets 9/2 or 3/1 at post

Hard Spun 3rd choice somewhere close to 3/1 or 4/1


It should be a decent betting race beside Street Sense.

Well said, 9/2 was a huge gift on him in the Derby, also a price that will never be seen on him again in all likelyhood.

That's how I'm playing it. The Preakness looks formful and I imagine the tri might pay $12/$1 wagered, so I'll be looking for big prices in the pick 4 and throwing the single on Street Sense in the Preakness leg.
