Too early in the week to talk about the Preakness?

Saw some interesting stats on Twitter earlier...
Justify was the first horse that didn't race as a 2-year-old to win the Kentucky Derby since Apollo won in 1882.
All four of Bob Baffert’s Kentucky Derby winners have gone on to win the Preakness.
As far as betting the finish, the last time the favorite won and the 2nd choice ran second was 1981 when favored Pleasant Colony won and 2nd choice Bold Ego ran second.

Another tidbit from Chris Fallica:

FWIW the last four horses to win the Derby on an off track (Always Dreaming, Orb, Super Saver, Mine that Bird) all lost in the Preakness.

Used to go when I lived in DC, that shite was fun. This was in the early aughts they’ve since “cleaned” it up though.

The fact that he was the favorite and powered through the slop relegates this to a moot point.

As long as the track isn't a conveyor belt like the derby is, favorite is very vulnerable.
The #5 who ran a bang up 3rd, is sitting on a big race or a huge bounce. He runs his race he goes right by. He was charging like a bad out of hell, then he was spinning his wheels at the 1/16th to the wire. Track was a conveyor belt the last 1/16th. The favorite and the #6 were dead tired, and still no one caught either of them.
Have to see how the field lays out

I’m going to include him...
But I’m going to try to beat him.
The 4 horses listed also never won another race
Also, sporting chance may decide that with the defection of free drop billy, he should slam into justify instead

You know I do
So you are in Nebraska? I read a story on the cute chestnut that just retired. Diamond jim or something similar? Wish I’d known about him when he was running.

I like Quip with the rest he's gotten since the Arkansas Derby. Bravazo wasn't on my radar after the LA derby, but surprised me in the Kentucky Derby.
I'm thinking I'll make 2 superfecta bets.
7-5-1-8
7-5-8-1

It would be nice to see quip beat justify. Trainer would be happy since he had the horse before he was sent to baffert.

Good magic seems much more on the forhand galloping now than before the derby...

I am going 7/5/1,3,8 in the tri. I think Justify and Good Magic are guaranteed 1-2places
Posted on 5/18/18 at 7:25 am to PANTHER
I boxed Good Magic and Justify just before the race. Had a hunch. Well it wasn't a hunch as much as a trend. Noticed several races the winner and place horses were in numerical sequence, like 7/8, or 8/7, 3/4 or 4/3, you get it. Wasn't a Justify fan to I lumped Good Magic with him, thank goodness. Will do it again and thinking of throwing in another for a trifecta. Any tips on todays action?

I used good magic because I liked how he was training into the derby. This time, not so much. He’s all front wheel drive which makes me think he may be a little sore somewhere behind. I’m probably not using him.

You better bring some big bucks, because Justify's 1-2 odds and GM's 3-1 odds won't pay much. That's why I'm boxing horses behind them on superfectas.
Eta:
Right now I have 4 bets...
7-5-1-8
7-5-8-1
7-5-1-6
7-5-6-1
I left Lone Sailor out.
