We will be there!

Just look for the sentimental local horse to suck up third at a nice price.

Albarado was reported to have worked him tight to the rail, depending on the draw I think we can expect to see him there. I don't think he needs the lead but he should be on it or close to it.

I think the sentimental local horse sucks up for third far less often than one thinks.

Anyone have a lead on who might ride Aikenite?

Was hoping he would get JV or Alan Garcia for this race...

Yeah, yeah he's hopeless, but I'll be playing him in the exotics.

I don't know if he wants to go even 9 f, but there appears to be a lot less speed in here and I think this colt will give it a go.

On Monday's show you said that 19 of the last 30 ITM finishers at the Preakness had run in the Derby. Actually it think it was 20.

Fu Peg and Impreachment in 2000; AP Valentine, Point Given and Congree in 2001: War Emblem and Proud Citizen in 2002; Funny Cide and Scrimshaw in 2003; Smarty Jones in 2004; Afleet Alex and Giacomo in 2005; Sweetnorthernsaint in 2006; Curlin, Street Sense and Hard Spun in 2007; Big Brown and Macho Again in 2008 and Mine That Bird and Musket Man in 2009.

I don't think Macho Again ran in the Derby.

Too much misinformation.

Alydeed and Macho Again both ran in the derby trial, other notables that missed the derby but ran well were Touch Gold in the Lexington, Red Bullet in the Woodward, and Bernadini ran in the Withers. Rachel obcourse won it last year off of the Oaks.

This is a bummer. Nice horse, would have been a very interesting horse Saturday.
