What do you use to watch on your phone? Horse Racing Now doesn't have Pimlico.

Well that's 3 of us on here with the same tri box. Hope this is a happy place later.

Twinspires

I work in a concrete building and don't always get the best streaming, though.

I won't be boxing anything today. I'll just be running straight trifectas, due to the fact I don't think any horse in the field can take out orb. No need to put extra money on the other two in a box to finish first.

But you never know what will happen. He may get held at the break, a horse may fall in front of him, he may spook at the infield and bolt...

Basically, I'm just coming up with excuses to explain my chickenshit behavior.

I lost a $15K payout once because I keyed on one horse and he came in 3rd by a head to my other two in my trifecta.

I don't have Oxbow in any bet. Is this a bad idea?

Nope. I'm just thinking he'll sit a little off the pace then move coming into the stretch. He's kind of a tough little horse so he's in there just in case he fights back.

I hope I'm not wrong to leave gov off, but I can't trust a horse who was sent to rood and riddle the week before the derby.

Me too.

The sport REALLY needs it.

They are saying rain for the hour leading up to the race.

Ok, I'm here now. Hit the first two. Errands ran, now to the races. Nice to have a $39 exacta to start the day So I'm going with the 7 here. A little late money going on him. Not trying to make a killing just a few extra bucks for later.

Well, the pace didn't blow up as I expected. Zee Bros. just ran off. Nice looking sprinter out of the Baffert barn.

The chalk. If he's fit, he wins for fun. I hate races like this. You can't bet against the horse because of his class, but if he needs a tightener off a layoff, he could get beat. Problem for me is I don't like anything else.

Thenill just watch

I've been crazy busy the last 2 weeks and not paying as much attention to the Preakness as usual

Love the black eyed Susans. 2nd only to the oaks lillies for my favorite blanket.

Boxed4 and 10 in here just for fun. There are 3 trainers that I absolutely LOVE.

Jonathan sheppard, graham motion, and michael matz (could he ever ride a horse!)

I tend to always lean towards them, that's why I took the 4
