The official Preakness undercard sux thread

[Thunder Gulch]

Graded stakes full of cheap allowance horses...statebred starter stakes for 5k claimers...entire fields of claimers horses with win profiles of 20-2-2-3....ahhh, Maryland my Maryland

totally agree, and the undercard usually is decent. I'm still bitter about the a.m. stakes races.

I was mad until I started looking at the farbage on the early part of the card, but now I'm content to show up at noon around R6 and skip some of the early b.s.

The purses are bunk. The sport hasn't even attempted to be competitive with the breeding game.

on a positive note, the Hirsch Jacobs is no joke.... looks to be very competitive

Have to agree. Pretty unimpressive, though I like Belmont's card.

i'd rather cap a tues card at river downs then try to make sense of these horses and stakes. I thought it was bad last year, boy was i spoiled
