Just read about Mucho Macho Man's work this morning. I've been wanting to play against, but the DRF article painted a pretty nice picture of the effort. Did anybody happen to catch his spin at Belmont this a.m.?

Why play against? He is the most likely winner of the Preakness.

I like Machos chances but Dialed in is going to very dangerous in this one

Dialed In is going to be a terrible bet for the second time in a row. i like Sway Away price-wise. I want to like Dance City, but the pace scenario worries me. I'll still use him.

Isn't the Preakness more or less a favorite's race though? When was the last time a true longshot won the thing? Would Louis Quatorze qualify somehow?

As long as he gets over the cold he got from the gust of wind created when Animal Kingdom ran right by him in the Derby.

Hmmm. You think AK is going to repeat that race huh? You get all of 2-1 for that. Enjoy

Nick's opinion is significantly better than yours.

The part of your assessment I referenced was that Mucho Macho Man is the likeliest winner. I can't see on what basis you can offer that opinion.

Whether AK is a good bet is a different issue altogether. That was neither something I mentioned nor something you brought up in your initial post.

Pattern wise there is no question. Who is more likely? AK? Dialed In?...I mean that was a huge top for AK first time dirt and now he gets 2 weeks. MMM hasn't even gotten back to his top. I didn't really say anything all that controversial.

In order for all of us to be able to understand what handicapping products go into the determinations made by someone like yourself you should share with us analysis similar to the above quoted one.

I've seldom, if ever, heard anyone quote the Sheets and simply the Sheets and believe without fail that they are infallible. Congrats.
