Preakness Day

[spa]

Mo,Mo,Mo.............There is NO zig to Alex\'s zag. If you think he\'ll bounce in the Belmont, you\'ll lose a lot of money.....Alex was sick when he won the Mountain Valley. I posted how tired he looked during his galloping out the extra eighth. What I think happened in the Derby was Alex waited for horses. Any horse that loves to run in traffic, must love the challenge of running eyeball to eyeball. He reminds me of \"The Biscuit.\" Time will tell.

Not gonna touch this race with a 10 foot pole. If Alex wins, God bless him. But he\'ll be a short price and I ain\'t in this game to break even.

So what happened to Sun King?

Mo, you can\'t make chicken salad out of chicken feathers.....take what\'s given and hit the gimmicks....

Ansewr the question before you give advice to someone with a lifetime profit betting horses, ok?

Zito stated he was sending Andromedas and probably Pinpoint 50/50. He mentioned none of his Preakness horses were probably going. The very best two turning Sun King has done is to essentially equal his two year old top.

He picked up a pace weakened High Limit and got passed by a bad trip Giacomo. He could luck out at the Belmont Stakes, but realistically he needs too many breaks to waste a race and probably needs a blow.

The operative word, CTC is luck. That\'s all he has.

Like I said before many times - Nick\'s a great guy but a 10% er at best. Here\'s an opportunity he can\'t refuse and he\'s gonna pass? Oh well, I\'m gonna try again for the 1 race that I have never been able to win - the Met Mile - if I can get a price.....not holding my breath though.

mo,
think SK is on the sidelines for now. nice horse, but have to agree with ctc, he\'s a one turn animal (suspected that last year, but i used him in both triple crown races, STUPID!!)

I watched the entire card on tv and thought the track at PIM was playing so fast that it was as though a reverse speed bias  essentially worked against front runners - like a dead rail annomoly except only the oppisite , causing the horse\'s to run too fast . I\'m not certain but I don\'t remember anyone going gate to wire on that day ...
 Thanks for posting the Derby + Preakness Day final numbers , one of the first and initial observations for me was - this years trpl crown campaign seems more stressfull on this years group of 3 yo\'s than has been in recent years . Also I\'m thinking that Aflet Alex is more apt to pair an \"Off\" or an \"X\" than to run a Top Effort or  Pair Tops right now (or ever) - what do you think ?
