Thank God Sol will be represented.

At first glance, sort of like Signalman to run well. Not sure there will be much pace for Bourbon War to run into...but maybe. And have to like him a bit given how well Code of Honor fared in the Derby, albeit on a nice trip.

Pace just got quite a bit stronger with Warrior's Charge entered.

Good point. Warrior’s Charge, Alwaysmining, Bodexpress, War of Will, and Signalman could all factor into a stronger pace.

Everyone cross fingers, toes, knees and elbows and hope that a monsoon does not hit Baltimore next week and drown the Preakness hat exhibit....to say nothing of the horses.

I see Bourbon War is adding blinkers. I’m not sure I like that.
