Title: Derby winners on wet tracks
Post by: jbelfior on May 07, 2017, 04:20:42 PM
Orb, Super Saver, Mine that Bird, Go for Gin.

What do they all have in common?

None of them ever won another race.


Good Luck,
Joe B

Smarty Jones and Sunday Silence are notable omissions.

Correct. If AD is anything in the same ballpark as those two then we\'re in for a fun 5 weeks.


Good Luck,

He\'s good, but he may have run the perfect race for the conditions. I was thinking of Smarty Jones BEFORE the gates opened.

Pletcher has never won a Preakness.
How do we handle that now??

I think Pletcher\'s only starter in the last 5 runnings of the Preakness was Stradivari last year. He doesn\'t usually care to run his derby horses back in the Preakness. This year he may have Malagacy in addition to the derby winner.
