Curlin's my offical top pick

[The Indomitable DrugS]

I'm probably not going to have a win bet on any horse in the Preakness---but, if I do decide to make one, it would be on Curlin...if he's better than 4/1.

Like I said though, no self-respecting bettor could possibly play Street Sense off the kind of trips he's built his mighty repute with.

My entire betting strategy focuses on my steadfast opinion that Street Sense hangs through the final 1/8th, and finishes underneath, and that only another act-of-god trip prevents that from happening.

I have long distained Circular Quay---Hard Spun and Curlin are the two remaining horses in the race who aren't complete and utter dog biscuits.

So, for the record, it's Curlin for me---but, from a betting standpoint, I will try to lock up 8/1 odds on a Curlin/HS over SS exacta.

I bet Any Given Saturday....had he run 3rd or better, I'd have had the super, as the top three finishers were all horses I had on all my exotics.....but yeah, I lost on the Derby and didn't have a very good opinion on AGS.

I think he hangs after everyone else is done running

Like he did in the Derby?

[pointman]

Drugs, agree with you and I am still on board with Curlin here as I was before the Derby. Street Sense will not be worth the price, and I believe Curlin is good enough to do it and will likely be a good value.

My official selections:
1. Curlin
2. Circular Quay
3. Flying First Class
4. Street Sense
5. Hard Spun

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

[The Indomitable DrugS]

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.

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'll take my chances with SS

[GPK]

Good call DrugsS

[hoovesupsideyourhead]

yes you called it....congrats

[The Bid]

That really was more than a called shot. From now until the end of my life anytime I see the finish of the 07 preakness Ill be thinking "hang like a rotten Salami" Then if the visual wasnt enough Borel says he just kind of gets the lead and likes to hang around. The salami vidication.

yeah they just showed the overhead (somewhat) replay and you see SS running so fast then he gets the lead and just hangs. Too bad cause he ran a heck of a race and would have had a great shot in the Belmont IMO. But then again, I am thrilled with the outcome cause the Curlin DD paid much better than SS.

Big Deal...you win....La tee Fooking da....Gloat gloat Gloat

Nice call. I was right about Hard Spun, but wrong about Curlin. I was right that he would be bet heavier than most anticipated.

However, I'm assuming you didn't bet, since he was only 3 to 1. No way the Curlin/HS over SS exacta was 8 to 1 either. Correct?
