5/16: Pimlico (Preakness Day)

I'll be out of pocket today so I'm just putting $50 wp on Papa Clem. I'm a sucker for perfect trip horses that don't show jack and s.hit down the stretch.

Good luck to all.

Will they not run the 11th race on the Turf since it's a G2?

???

They aren't off the turf. Fast and Firm...

I am a true believer in the Derby Fav. Thinking Friesan Fire can and will come up strong. That said I also think Big Drama will hang around for a very long time. I will be covering a few bets with RA on top but my top four will be.

Friesan Fire
Musket Man
Big Drama
Pioneer of the Nile

I am from the group that think MM ran a better and more deserving race than POTN. I am also a MTH park homebred and a big Derek Ryan fan.

Good luck everyone! Enjoy the races and as always thank you Steve for providing for all of us a way to voice our (often wrong/always strong) opinions.

I think it is a mistake not to use Drama to hit the board if not win. The other stat not to ignore is the number of Preakness winners that have come from RUNNING in the derby. 21 of the last 23 winners ran in the Derby. I don't think that excludes Rachel as she did run in her equivalent of the Derby in the Oaks.

Super Box in first three positions these 4 horses then all

FF
Drama
Rachael
Mind That Bird
All

Same 4 in first two positions with all in third for twi.....GL all

FYI West Coast Flyer is cross entered tomorrow at Belmont, where he's 6/5 on the ML. Let's see where they end up. This is a pretty salty race for a $100k G3.

Really, salty? There are basically two decent six-year-olds who are far from locks to fire, then five allowance horses.

Steve, did the #5 colonel rutledge late scratch out of the 9th race. Express bet has him as scratched but hes not on the sheet?

I thought that horse who blew the turn was drinking out of the same bottle as Sumitas. Caller botched several names.

TVG and TS both have CR out too. Proudinsky is out of the 11th as well.
No Col. Rutledge and no Beacon Hill Rd kill the value of the first leg of the late P4.
