Default The Preakness looks like a road show of Derby wanna B's

If it wasn't for the drunks in the infield, this may go down as the dullest Preakness of all time, at least in my years.

How one-sided can it be. If BB doesn't win by 20 lengths, will everybody be mad?

Yea, I know, anything can happen. I just hope nothing tragic happens.

So what do we have, maybe Gayego, who made it to 17th Derby Day.

It might be a nice day to watch Citation reruns.

I would guess BB's odds will be lower than Easy Goers odds 3-5. The only difference, EG got beat that day. Not so likely BB will follow suit. Last I looked, we don't have any Sunday Silence shooters in this field.

Heck, they will still get 100,000 people to come and get hammered.

maybe a drunk will wander onto the track and take a swing at a horse... that may be BB's only possible obstacle!

It is a terrible field, much like the derby. Thank goodness for Casino Drive or Big Brown could win a TC having beaten some of the slowest horses in recent memory.

It looks like Harlem Rocker, Casino Drive, and Unbridled Heart are going to be the big 3 with Big Brown. So we have 4 big-time 3yr olds. That is pretty much par for the course.

I have never seen such a crop though that is really Ohio Derby/West Virginia Derby type material.

It's fascinating that the star of YouTube sensation 'My New Haircut' has a shot to be an owner of the next triple crown winner.

What of Denis of Cork? Seems like a lot of people have forgotten him. He reminds me of Birdstone abit, perhaps more because of his smallish stature but if he does decide to go in The Belmont he would be worth a look. He was not properly handled going into the derby with not enough foundation yet he ran a promising third, he could now be ready to run his career best effort at Belmont Park.

that's like saying if it weren't for the art the louvre would be dull.

i checked the rugby board. they're going to be ok.

'Yea, I know, anything can happen. I just hope nothing tragic happens."

like an asteroid destroying civilization?

"So what do we have, maybe Gayego, who made it to 17th Derby Day."

ok. that would be worse than an asteroid.

"It might be a nice day to watch Citation reruns."

or bad bruce willis movies. involving large rocks. hitting planets.

seemingly immune to asteroid reference

"Heck, they will still get 100,000 people to come and get hammered."
