Great Preakness -- hopefully the start of a great seasonal rivalry

Trefreakinmendous!

Belmont is going to be packed. TV ratings should be great. I'll Have Another is for real. Great ride, great timing. Can't articulate how excited I am!

He had the outright highest last out Beyer in the entire field coming into today.

The Matz camp or the Roman's camp can't be too thrilled with what they saw today

I like(d) bodes chances much more in the Belmont than today.

If they both go, that is the time to play him.

I've opposed I'll Have Another for a variety of reasons having nothing to do with the horse himself and certainly won't support the horse in the Belmont. That being said, that was a really fun race to watch.

He's has beat me twice now. Only way to insure he loses and Drug O'Neil is denied a triple crown (I shudder at the thought) is for me to bet I'll Have Another in the Belmont. Not a prayer in the world he wins then.

Doesn't matter now

Apparently Bode is being replaced by Paynter in the Belmont.

Optimizer the only other Preakness starter to go to the Belmont.
