what horrible field, Justify wins this with Mike Smith on the brakes the whole time. But this only enhances the Belmont as Justify goes for the Triple Crown. This will be a just enjoy the race Preakness instead of trying to win money Preakness.

Has to be a way to make money on this. He will be 1/5 but hopefully a long price underneath. If this is the field its easy.

1.) Justify (Baffert)

over...

Bravazo (Lukas)
Sporting Chance (Lukas)
Diamond King (Jo. Servis)
Tenfold (Asmussen)
Quip (Brisset)
Lone Sailor (Amoss)
Good Magic (Brown)

over...

Bravazo (Lukas)
Sporting Chance (Lukas)
Diamond King (Jo. Servis)
Tenfold (Asmussen)
Quip (Brisset)
Lone Sailor (Amoss)
Good Magic (Brown)

Perfect. And when Good Magic finishes 2nd, it will pay $17.

The only way to make money is keying Justify in a pick 4 or 5. Catching a price or 2 or hitting it multiple times. This is not a horse I am trying to beat

Quip has beaten me twice. If I bet him this time, he'll run like Arnold Swarzenegger is his jockey with a 50 pound sack of concrete under each arm.

If Quip finishes second, it means absolutely nobody showed up.

Like many others, I like the inclusion of Tenfold in the race. A horse I haven’t heard much about is Diamond King. He will face the best competition he’s ever faced but he ran very well last time out off the layoff and was running hard down the stretch. I’m hoping the local connections don’t hurt his post odds. I may put some money on him to win and will probably end up putting a decent amount on:

Justify / Tenfold, Diamond King / Tenfold, Diamond King, Good Magic, Lone Sailor

Bolt D`Old to Met Mile. If Army Mule and Backyard Heaven and a few other's show up, he should compete for 6th.

On a fast track he will whistle. No Justify in the Met Mile. Didn't like the mud.

Possibly, but I love that they are thinking outside the box. There have been 3-year-olds fairly recently that would have fit just fine in the MM and have no business at the 1 3/16 or 1 1/2 of the Preakness or Belmont. Pretty sure Practical Joke was in good enough form to finish 3rd last year. And Army Mule and Backyard Heaven are fast and fast risers, but not exactly known commodities.

I don't dislike the placement. Just think it will prove to ambitious.

Army Mule might be the biggest "if" in the history of horse racing. Has he worked since the Carter?

I think it's the right move for Bolt D'Oro.

Army Mule is half god, half horse.

I do hope he runs. He has a big following and i feel he would be way overbet. Especially if Justify is going for the triple crown and you see that recent 2nd in the pps. I would be totally against him if the expected players show up.
