No Preakness in 2011??

I think there's as much chance they'll have the middle jewel of the Triple Crown in Dubai as Santa Anita. All of this discussion is silly anyway as the Preakness isn't moving from Maryland, like ever.

I would prefer that it stays there. But you need to have some racing in MD for that to make sense. And if you think that MD racing is any kind of certainty for "like ever", I am sure you are eagerly awaiting Santa's upcoming visit, too.

Whatever guys--nothing will ever change in the Triple Crown. If that makes you feel better, please be my guest and believe it. But since the Preakness was already usurped once in my lifetime, I guess I have to take a non-faith-based approach.

Were you born in like 1897 or was this in a past life?

the Preakness name won't leave Md. but i won't be shocked to see the second race of the triple crown leave the state.
