Betting The Preakness

[justindew]

Blackthroatedwind,

I believe Editor's Note was 3rd in 1996.

Here's what I remember about Prince of Thieves:

-He ran 3rd in the Derby.
-Lukas took Pat Day off the horse in favor of Bailey for the Preakness.
-His breeding closely resembled that of Timber Country, who won the Preakness one year earlier. (I think that was Prince of Thieves. I won't swear to it.)
-I think his odds were lower than Louis Quatorze's, and LQ was around 8-1.

As far as I remember, Prince of Thieves was considered a contender in the 1996 Preakness.
