May 4, 200917 yr If the track is sloppy and he gets to the rail down the stretch, look out! It could be deja vu all over again.
May 5, 200917 yr I'm not suprised, I don't see how or why they wouldn't run the Derby winner in the 2nd leg. I wonder what type of odds we'll see?
May 5, 200917 yr I'm not suprised, I don't see how or why they wouldn't run the Derby winner in the 2nd leg. I wonder what type of odds we'll see? Depends on track position. I say if he gets a middle spot, he'll be at best 15-1, or 20-1.
May 5, 200917 yr If he's 15 or 20-1 and doesn't win I'm sure the racing industry will be happy case wise.
May 5, 200917 yr Mine that Bird will single digit odds at best in the Preakness. Several reasons-- Preakness is 14 horse field not 20, most of the Derby horses that were also rans skip the Preakness, and the group of horses that skipped the Derby and will run in the Preakness are not an impressive group. Finally and most importantly, he was impressive at Churchill. Papa Clem and Pioneer of the Nile seem like the likely favorites, Mine that Bird will be 3rd or 4th choice.
May 5, 200917 yr Depends on track position. I say if he gets a middle spot, he'll be at best 15-1, or 20-1. I am not sure if it is a fair comparison or not, but leading up to the Preakness in '05, Giacomo was around 6-1. Both horses left the gates at Churchill around the same number.
May 5, 200917 yr If he is entered, Hull (the Derby Trial winner) will have a very nice shot at the Preakness.
May 5, 200917 yr Is Quality Road being considered for the Preakness or is he going to be held out longer?
