who is a real threat to RA?

[skippy3481]

I'm going to say it one for time. If she rates off the pace, she will win. If they are going 46 for the half, shes not rating, if she runs her race she will win. You can't say that for anyone else.

i understand what you are saying, but to be up stalking with Big Drama i would say she have to go fast or rate 4-5 horses back. they are not going to let her go easy early right off the leaders imo. i think this will be the fastest 1/2 mile we have seen in a while for a big race i think she will have to go a fast 1/2 mile to get position from the 13 hole. she cannot win 6-7 horses back 3 wide period

everybody talking about her 20 lenght win , impressive, Calvin did even move on her, do you really think she will run and look like that Sat? there will be a big surprise coming for all the guys and girls betting the milk money on her. GO BIG POTN

Uh, yeah, right.

The only ones worrying more about that will be the connections of MTB.

ok Tonto, who do you like or what's your view on the preakness. you rarely say anything of an opinion just snide comments.

Am I the only one that noticed a first time poster named Scat Daddy.....and in a thread started by Bernardini no less?

Somebody bring back the Chalkeaters Anonymous thread.

[TheSpyder]

he only think that will get in her way is traffic or the finish line.

If it's the first, I'm taking a stab on Terrian. If it's the second, bye bye!

The closest any of these colts will get to her is on the track Saturday. None of these will get within miles of her at the breeding shed.

As for the race, I agree it will be a 3 pronged attack keeping her honest...........Big Drama and Take The Points early, Pioneer and Friesen Fire on the far turn and Musket Man and Mine That Bird in the stretch. I'm playing against her.

Papa Clem baby is ready to win this one!!

She wont be rating 5 or 6 horses back she will be in the top 3 just not sitting on big dramas flank. If they go 46 for the half. There wont be many horses around her. They will all be sitting back and stalking. If rachel is at the front of this group, which she should be, then you wont stop her. If she can sit third off the speed horses, she will win for fun.

[alysheba4]

i am going F.F / DRAMA / M.T.B.....in a tri box. as a big pioneer fan i finally realized what alot of people have been saying for the past six weeks.......he lacks a burst. general quarters? seems like a slow horse. if the filly wins, so be it.

Iv'e explained my view twice about the fractions at the 1/2 and to look at her pp races over a mile, sorry you don't understand this. good -luck Tommorrow

[Clip-Clop]

Not really sure any of these are the type that would get bred to the likes of her.

I agree totally. The 20 length win was ultra-impressive, but I don't think she can re-produce that race coming right back. I think it's a golden opportunity to find a more than generous priced winner and even play some tickets with her off of the board.

She doesn't have to reproduce that effort to win by open lengths.

Is anybody else thinking a part back wheel with Mine that Bird in third might be the bet here?
