I don't know if he wants to go even 9 f, but there appears to be a lot less speed in here and I think this colt will give it a go.

[analyizethis]

On Monday's show you said that 19 of the last 30 ITM finishers at the Preakness had run in the Derby. Actually it think it was 20.

Fu Peg and Impreachment in 2000; AP Valentine, Point Given and Congree in 2001: War Emblem and Proud Citizen in 2002; Funny Cide and Scrimshaw in 2003; Smarty Jones in 2004; Afleet Alex and Giacomo in 2005; Sweetnorthernsaint in 2006; Curlin, Street Sense and Hard Spun in 2007; Big Brown and Macho Again in 2008 and Mine That Bird and Musket Man in 2009.

I don't think Macho Again ran in the Derby.

Too much misinformation.

14 sounds familiar but I'm not positive

If you like Ice Box and they plan to skip the Preakness you ought to cheer heartily for Super Saver to win impressively in Baltimore. Then Ice Box will be a larger price, nowhere near 11-1, but he'll offer a bit more value.

While I thought ice box clearly ran the best race yesterday, I am not that enthused about his prospects moving forward as he seemingly is the type that needs pace help and luck to be successful.

#2 Not a big name but Bushwhacked might be out with a 103 Fever and 2 new names being discussed are Exhi and Rule

Winstar is not running Rule against Super Saver.

"A Little Warm, who was a possible Preakness runner, has been fighting a temperature since shipping last week from Florida to Delaware Park and is not currently under consideration for the race, trainer Tony Dutrow said Monday."

I laughed.

If running Rule can result in another pace like in the derby...

Wabbit.

I'm looking at the NTRA stakes schedule. Can it possibly be right that the Preakness is the only graded stake run at Pimlico on Preakness day??

I hope not. In trying to find an answer at their website I came across this oddity:

"Among the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes winners are classic fillies as Nellie Morse, who was the only filly ever to also take the Preakness;"

One grade 2 and 4 grade 3's in addition to the Preakness

It would make more sense for Dublin to go to Ireland...

Yawanna Twist, the lightly raced son of Yonaguska finished second in a pair of Grade 3 races this spring, the Gotham (March 6) and Illinois Derby (April 3) could join the Preakness field it was learned Friday. Yawanna Twist worked six furlongs in 1:17.20 on May 4 at Churchill Downs.

“Rick said we are going to see how he works and if all goes well we’ll get on that plane with the rest of them and head on over,” said Jim Riccio of Steel Your Face Stables. “We started late with him so it was tough to get a line on how good he actually is. He has to be 100 percent for us to step up against these other horses.”
