2016 Preakness Stakes

The Preakness is only 1/16 of a mile shorter

Nyquist wins. Exxagerrator should take the race off and focus in the Belmont. I will say this. The Preakness may be something that Keith and Kent want to win really bad. They both have ties into Maryland racing

I had that same thought. Rest up and upset Nyquist at the end.

Hit it for the Derby

Was that like 342 bets in a 20 horse field? (19*18)=342 combinations.

Or did you part wheel with Nyquist and only a select number of other horses?

The Belmont is longer. What you wrote was derby 1 1/4
Belmont 1/5

This isn't right

This reminds me of a story. Last year I was working on a design and the closest measurement was three fifths,so I told the welder "about 3/5," to which he replied "what the hell is three fifths." I laughed and said just go with 5/8

I'm going to be on Gun Runner, probably in the next 2. But I'm really looking for him in the Belmont.
Gun Runner was right on the hot pace and it was he who first attacked the front-runner. But I don't know what the pace will look like.
I think he'll stay in the Belmont, which really isn't a closer's race, despite the distance. We saw American P get 5 claimer fractions in the Belmont last year.

Has anybody been watching Belmont today? Is the track playing fast because I saw Unified win the Peter Pan in 1:47.14. That's blazing.

Depending on weather as well. He's a very nice horse though.

I'll never understand this line of thinking from horse racing folks. Isn't it a pretty sorry attitude to have? Not you btw, the actual people involved with these horses.

He's ready or Pletcher would not run him

Are we talking about the same pLetcher that's 1 for 45 in the Kentucky detby, 0 for 7 In the preakness and 2 for 18 in the Belmont, with on of the two being a half sibling to another Belmont winner?

The same pletcher that has run the following in the triple crown:


Cowtown cat
Devil may care (a fully who wasn't even the best 3yo filly that year)
Uncle mo
Gemologist
Stay thirsty


The same pletcher that refused to scratch the odds on favorite in the breeders cup ladies classic life at ten when it was so clear to anyone watching his filly was not right to the point the track vet looked at her, she came in dead last and had over 1 Million dollars wagered on her. Ketucky racing commission opened an investigation on him over this And he admitted she had an Alegria reaction to medication. Yet still did ran her.


That todd pletcher?


Pletcher cares about one thing and one thing only, getting his owners in the big races so they can rub shoulders with the big wigs and getting stallion deals for his clients. Pletcher could give a flying frick if the horse is ready or not as shown by literally being the worst triple crown trainer of all Time. That's an insult to shug, mott, the late Boby Frankel i.e guys who actually don't run horses in races when they aren't ready.



I like the horse but this is the worst reasoning I have ever heard



With the said, once u get past the tc, pletcher does good with older horses. Lawyer ron, the claimed he won the met mile with whose name I can't pronounce ex something calibea something like that.
