Default the preakness

out of the top four finishers yesterday, only papa clems folks have come out and said on to pimlico.

mine that bird-they're saying wait and see. that md was never in their plans, and they may just wait for the belmont (yeah, right).

baffert said he'll wait a week to see about POTN.

mustket man-either preakness or belmont, not both. i'd go preakness, skip belmont, but it's not up to me.

pletcher looking to run join in the dance, but not dunkirk who has an injury to his hoof. his take the points also supposed to run in md.

no go for quality road of course.

i'd think general quarters would go on-i think he hated the track yesterday, i didn't like how he looked on it in the post parade.

big drama and mr fantasy are also supposed to run in the preakness. i really think it'll be a full field.

baffert is pretty 'emotional' as he put it. he thought he had the race won. i wonder if he goes back for a second chance, tries to beat the first horse to beat him...or does he go back to where POTN wins? and i'm NOT saying he can't win the preakness. but i am saying, that horse is sure thing on syns.

I think were looking at a non-Derby starter winning the "Black Eyed Susans" this year.

I think his horse looked like a worn out rag doll coming down the stretch.He said before"why go anywhere when I can make a million dollars in Cal".He should take his horse back there and stay there.

Yeah, Zayat will skip the Preakness with Pioneer of the Nile. That will happen.

If you believe that you also believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.

As long as the media will be present at Pimlico, POTN and whichever horse(s) Pletcher can find will run in the Preakness. DWL might even make an appearance.

he's pointing take the points there, they opted to skip the derby and train towards pimlico with him. join in the dance will be the most likely early pace again.
as for dwl-i think flying private would be better off on synthetics, based on his performances on both types of tracks. that and perhaps a step down in class.
