it's a joke you know ha ha? I know Dublin has every right to be in the Preakness but sometimes ole D Wayne runs them just to be there in the gate. As far as the Caps go it was 1 vs 8 and they choked.

I would say any of the legitimate speed horses deserve another chance to redeem themselves here, this Preakness is going to be more wide open than others.

The Caps were a dissapointment though I am not sure they would have won the cup with the goaltending they had anyway, Ovie is more flash than substance at the moment. He's a very talanted player however The same thing happened to him in the Olympics where he didn't elevate his game. I'd take Crosby over him anyday of the the week, Crosby finds ways to beat you and he seems to be able to elevate his game when need be. In a way this almost relates to horseracing discussion, where people at times deviate towards flashier horses rather than susbstance.

@derbycontenders tweeted that Ice Box is unlikely for the Preakness.

What about Drosselmeyer?

Interesting to see if Winstar decides to run 2 in that race, or points Drosselmeyer elsewhere.

There's no Peter Pan this year, right? So..unless you go in the Dwyer, there's not a lot of options.

Distance , tighter turns and less horses. I would not run Ice Box and let him rest up for the Belmont.

The turns at Pimlico are not " tighter " than the ones at Churchill.
