That's interesting because he actually never had a word to say about First Dude in the Xpressbet Preakness Wagering Guide and specifically wrote how Lookin at Lucky would be overbet. His selections (with Hurricane Ike scratched) were Schoolyard Dreams, Super Saver and Caracortado. Everyone moves on and off horses in a lead up to big races like this, so he may have warmed to Lucky as the race approached. I suspect his interest in First Dude came from the chat he had with Serling though. As for taking swipes at those who went with the Derby winner, fold in Brad Free, Marcus Hersch, Jeff Siegel and me with Battaglia.
