Post by: johnnym on May 13, 2015, 09:32:03 AM
According to DRF 8 were entered into the Preakness the last being MrZ.
Not that it will make a diff in my wagering but really Lukas?

Really??? Zayat said on Monday that there\'s a point where he steps in and that Mr.Z was definitely not running.  

Good Luck,

Zayat has sold the horse to Calumet and he will be running in the Preakness as a Calumet horse.

Only betting him if John Veitch is the trainer.


Good Luck,

Would be the worst sale of all time if Z wings it and takes the starch out of AF

Firstly, why would anyone buy Mr.Z for reportedly serious money. Secondly, why would run him back in the Preakness?

Purchase makes no sense on many levels.Gotta think Lukas sold Calumet some story.

Would be the greatest sale of all time if Z wings it and forces AP to earn it.

Or Has Calumet done anything right this year? If they\'ve had any runners this winter/spring I missed them.

AP earned the Derby. Enough of that garbage.

He stalked in the Arkansas race, he will do it again if someone \"wings it\".

I had Firing Line all over the place in the Derby, AP cost me a lot of money. But I\'m not gonna hate on him for beating me.

AP is high quality. Period.

I for one will be rooting for him, probably have zero money invested in the race, then I will enjoy the 3 week buildup and the excitement it brings.  And.....looking for a way to make a score in the Belmont.

I\'m done with this topic. Big game(s) tonight.

Just remember everyone:

Oxbow was only a G3 winner and was the second longest shot at 15-1 when he won the

Preakness 2 years ago for the same connections, Lucas/Calumet.

He had run 5th in the Arkansas Derby and 6th in the Ky Derby.

Bingo. That is exactly what happened. DWL thinks this horse is peaking and can win the Preakness.

They probably paid a ridiculously stupid price. He\'s lost his marbles. This might be the end of him.

Isn\'t Ovechkin a Russian?

That\'s kinda like betting Putin\'s horse to win the Preakness!

Why would this game be anything else but decided in OT. Next team who scores wins not only the series, but the Stanley Cup.
There are no Jonathan Quicks waiting.

Good Luck,

Like the end of game 6, the Rangers just can\'t seem to control the puck.

But don\'t dismiss the Blackhawks.

It was a great game. It was a great comeback.

Ovechkin was crushed. Gotta feel for the man, been the best player for years but his teams can\'t get over the hump. Don\'t feel too sorry for him though, he has all the perks over in Russia that Richiebee has tried to negotiate with TGJB for, including an American Wife and unlimited access to the hippodrome, with or without TGRAPH on his brim.

Should have responded in the thread to that hilarious post, but I\'m on a Five Post Ration and The Preakness is getting my \"jones\" going.
