 Menifee was the 2-1 favorite: http://horseracing.about.com/library...y/aa051599.htm Victory Gallop was the favorite at 9-5 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/mor...eakness_final/

This all remnds me that if it weren't for Strike the Gold, Best Pal and Hansel Mane Minister would have won the Triple Crown.

He's named for a great rock 'n roll song.
And I think Aquilino did train him.

Blackthroatedwind,
I believe Editor's Note was 3rd in 1996. Here's what I remember about Prince of Thieves: -He ran 3rd in the Derby. -Lukas took Pat Day off the horse in favor of Bailey for the Preakness. -His breeding closely resembled that of Timber Country, who won the Preakness one year earlier. (I think that was Prince of Thieves. I won't swear to it.) -I think his odds were lower than Louis Quatorze's, and LQ was around 8-1. As far as I remember, Prince of Thieves was considered a contender in the 1996 Preakness.

But Timber Country was a proven good horse.
I always thought Prince of Thieves was a bit of a bum so perhaps I'm biased. I was talking about third in the Charismatic Preakness.

As for the show horse, his name was Badge. Doesn't he stand up in NY somewhere? I didn't realize he was named after a song.

I didn't look and I stopped looking at your thread once I saw your ?, but I hear Eric Clapton strumming his guitar as I post this. The 3rd place finisher was ex FDNY's Joe Aquillino's BADGE.

Do you guys really believe Hard Spun will be 7/2 or above when the gates open for the Preakness? I think those odds offer great value on a horse who ran fast early middle and late in the Derby.
Take a look at the charts of the Kentucky Derby. Hard Spun was 1st every call until the stretch. The rest were bringing up the rear for the first half except for Curlin who was 13th, after 4 furlongs. After 6 furlongs Street Sense was about to make his move but was 17th and Curlin and imawildandcrazygut was last. At the q/p Street Sense was 3rd and Curlin was 8th imawildandcrazyguy was 16th. In the stretch Hard Spun increased his lead on 18 other horses except for Street Sense. If Street Sense encountered any traffic problems in the Derby Hard Spun would have won going away and he's an even money favorite to win the Preakness. If Hard Spun can come back and run strong on Saturday I think he's the horse to beat. If he's 5/2 or over I think he's a strong win bet. If he regresses I think Street Sense will be the winner.
