Derby field, where they should go, Preakness possibles

[lemoncrush]

For the Preakness, what about Astrology, jj's lucky train, bandbox, anthonys cross or Mr Commons?

I hope MMM is pointed for the Belmont instead of running in the Preakness. (Chances of that are slim to none)

I think he will be very tough at 12f.

He is a clone of Summer Bird.

I feel like MMM is more a "strike while the iron's hot" type of horse. I feel more strongly about Nehro skipping it and pointing to the Belmont. He ran a good race yesterday.

Earlier Rodney Jenkins said they were looking at running him in the Jimmy Murphy going a flat mile on the grass Preakness week...looking to set him up for the 3yo grass races in Virginia.
