Tricky track, as the first two races ( at 6F ) were outrageously fast, then the track may have slowed down. Still, could J Be K have gotten a 100 or so? He looked to really be struggling a bit the last eighth.

Regardless, I will be very surprised if he doesn't go to the Preakness.

Hope you're right . . .

Harlem Rocker went 3 1/5 faster than the horses in the 4th race, which is around 40 points, maybe 42, so assuming the track didn't change that race got a 66 or so....which probably makes sense especially considering the trouble the winner of that race had at the start.

Not sure if you're replying to me - but I was referring to the Preakness thing - not questioning the fig. 106 sounds about right to me. . . Obviously VERY early to speculate on but I wonder how hard he'd get bet in the Preakness with such a high fig.

I was just pontificating into space.

I guess it depends what happens next Saturday. However, considering what we've seen already, and also considering Harlem Rocker has high profile connections, he can't be too big a price.

What did Red Bullet pay in the Preakness....6:1?

Not hard at all... the last two sharp winners of the Withers that went on to the Preakness (Scrappy T, Bernardini) went off at 20-1 and 12-1, respectively. If you like him that day, you will get a decent price.

I think people forget how well Scrappy T ran in the Preakness because of the collision with Alex and the ensuing amazing recovery- he blasted the front runners and had a clear lead at the top of the stretch. What an incredible race that was!!!

He's about as likely to be double digit odds if he goes in the Preakness as I am to dunk on LeBron.

I'll get you a trampoline.

Agree though- I'm guessing 6-1 to 8-1 is about right.

I know ... I bet Scrappy to win that day. I was pissed that he didn't win, but then I was happy to see such a great race. Alex displayed amazing athleticism that day ...

It happened right in front of me... I still can't believe it to this day he actually stayed up. Looking at the photo in "The Greatest 100 Moments in Racing History" right now actually. Had a big exacta box Alex-Scrappy so I was happy.

By the way, did you know he's still running??
