It's a good point, I was more inquiring that stating an opinion. But, wouldn't it make sense not to let Bode get out there by himself?

I'd much rather let Bode do his thing and try to hang on for a piece than to pressure him and ensure my horse finishes 10th.

Who's not excited for the annual chalkfest that is Preakness Day? Maybe my memory is sketchy, but prices seem few and far between on Preakness Day.

Depends on which way you are looking at it. As a gambler, I don't want to take Bode at extremely short odds regardless of the pace scenario, so based on the probable set-up I would use Bode as a single in any type of pick 3 or pick 4 and try to find value somewhere else.

As a horse owner, you almost have to think that if Bode runs again like he did two weeks ago, everyone is running for second anyway.
