re: It is Preakness week!

Cairo Prince got in the race he needed to move forward for the Derby. I will have him and California Chrome on a ticket. Wicked Strong will factor in somewhere he was moving too lfast in his last race to ignore.

Will do

Just need to see for sure who enters.

Well crap. I figured he would move forward in a big way.

Oh believe me, I knew the second it was announced.

I HATE synthetics

I wish that I'd gotten a future bet in on California Chrome. Started following him at Del Mar last summer and he surprised the hell out of me by becoming a derby horse.

Honestly, if you look at that horse's form from last spring - he was running in 4.5 furlong races in April or May -he looked like an Evangeline horse. What an improvement. But if he's a super horse, I'll let him prove it to me.

My early pick is Hopportunity. Good price and that looked like close to a non-try in the Santa Anita Derby.

I'm also considering Dance with Fate. I know it was plastic-track, but he made a really nice move in the Blue Grass and is coming into his own.

Anyone bet the futures?

I'll sell you my $100 ticket on Bobby's Kitten at 36:1. Make you a great deal on it.


Looking at Tapiture to be in all exotics. Hard to dismiss what Chrome is doing.

I know. I still have no clue how he's running as far as he is. But I still wish I'd gotten a future on him. I'm a sucker for red with lots of white.

Speaking of sprint stallions I did a little looking on Danza. Mom has thrown some distance so that may help him, but I HATE the way he moves.

I'm still really hoping commanding curve gets in. Watched the gallops stream this am and I'm still really liking him (though I wasn't sure who he was til I saw pictures later).
