9-5 in the early wagering and about the same in the double with Panty Raid.

xichibanx: My Preakness day opinions.

R6 I wish the dam of the #1 Southwestern Heat was Sallie Blue instead of Xtra Heat because it would improve the price.  15-1 M/L I am hoping for 6/1.

R7 Precious Kitten big chalk single

R8 #3 Celtic Innis I wish John Velazquez wasn\'t riding this horse as he kills the price. Exbox with #1.

R9 #4 Soaring By I bet him in the LA Derby and Lexington and he ran awful I will try him again against the physically immature Cherlokee.

R10 #9 Einstein had nothing in last, shows similar improving pattern. G1 winner.

R11 I am chasing Velasquez again with #8 Sunriver as I feel Hesanoldsalt will be overbet.  

R12 I think Street Sense is too strong.  If you play gimmicks key with Xchanger and FLying First Class on the bottoms.

Good Luck.

I am sure SC will beat me in the Preakness.

imallin: Einstein supposedly didn\'t like soft turf AND had a sickness problem too. Back on the beam today.

Silver Charm: Xichibanx,

Where have you been. I hear hanging around at Palm Beach Kennel Club wearing nice clothes and a tie. I proud of you young man.

Interesting thoughts on Einstein. I had him Derby Day and he bombed when the numbers looked great.  

Cosmonaut could be dangerous in there also. Ran with the good ones last year and was consistently about 2 lengths back. May improve this year which makes him Grade One quality.

xichibanx: I am doing good SC.  I heard from Barry that you are doing well.  No tie required at the PBKC but I took a pass this week.  I am doing a little phone action.  Good luck in the preakness today.  I will try to be around a little more.
