Damn, I would have went to Pimlico if I knew that BT was the Kegasus.

The first four legs of this Pick 5 are absolutely brutal.

Not only can I not find anything even close to a single in any of them ... I'm also having a lot of trouble eliminating horses.

It's very annoying to me. Like one potential landmine after another.

Sometimes a card can be "too good" when the main attraction is a multi-win bet like the pick 5.

It Preakness day dude those first 4 legs will probably be won by 3 favorites.

It's a very slow track based on what we saw in the first dirt race today.

Solid starter alw males -- the 4 length winner had run figures of 77-88-82-76-80-78 in his last six starts.

They went 25 for the first quarter and the 8.5f race broke 1:46 for the final time.

Unless some work is done on the track -- the fractions and especially the final time will be very slow this year no matter what.

[Calzone Lord]

Based on that race -- a 1:50 flat for 9 furlongs on this track would be about a 108 Beyer type race.

I like Pretension to give value to the exotics and based upon what I've seen here I probably am the only one in the world to think that.

I think he's probably the 3rd best New York bred in the race.

That's a safe bet.

I just got them off of Twinspires, so it might be an Equibase issue.
