FFC in front of Street Sense and Hard Spun?
This list makes even less sense than your "five best horses since 1986" signature.

Hey man....don't be stealing the line I swiped from PG1985.

Actually though, I think I said I'll never post on another internet board again. Most people don't know this---but I got mucho "board cred" on most knitting for the homeless message boards.

And his official stitch on those boards is "purlin."

Get it? Purlin! Um... purlin... you know... Purlin- Curlin- it's... the purl is a knitting stitch and... (tap tap) is this thing on? Hello? Hello?

Wonder what are the chances u would be true to your word if it happens? Probably less than FFC finishing in front of those two.

I can finally breath easier now knowing KG's "official" picks. I practically couldn't sleep last night wondering if he would actually put FCC on top.

Why does suddenly everyone have to label their picks as official?
I mean I don't even think people like Crist or Beyer say things like that,
"here are my official picks". What, as opposed to all their unofficial picks floating around?

I think it's a pretty safe bet we'll be seeing DaHoss here on Sunday as there is virtually no chance both Street Sense AND Hard Spun finish behind Flying First Class. Zero.

I'm also going with zero chance, DaHoss is safe.

The play here is...

STREET SENSE / HARD SPUN / CURLIN

triple box

The "chalk" rules also in the Preakness, much like today's Black Eyed Susan

I fell in love with Hard Spun in New Orleans and see no reason not to keep the faith. He's got speed AND stamina and such a cute face. And he runs like Chief's Crown, stretching his neck and leveling out.
