No Triple Crown Winner Again This Year!!!

[THE SHRINK]

And you can take THAT to the BANK....

Not to take anything away from Giacomo, who ran a GREAT RACE!

You heard it here FIRST...

Not exactly stepping out on a ledge here Ken.

Shrink- Giacomo is 20-1 to win the next 2 legs.Please you can do better than that.Cant you?GREENHEAD

 

[Rainbow]

20-1 looks cheap to me.

I have always sucked betting the Derby. However, I have done much better with the Preakness and Belmont...

Now, assuming they both run...

Two Horses to look closely at for the Peakness IMO are:

1-CLOSING ARGUMENT

2-BELLAMY ROAD

THE SHRINK

 

[JudgeWapner]

Add High Fly to that list.

 

[TheGeneral+]

Giacomo's Preakness run will be easier than Derby

 

[JudgeWapner]

The problem for him in the Preakness will be shorter distance and slower fractions.

 

[TheGeneral+]

Buzzards Bay beat Giacomo in the SA. The 20 gate hurt him no question, but finishing 5th driving was impressive also from that post.

 

[JudgeWapner]

General, the west coast horses are better than I gave them credit for.

buzzard's bay in the preakness

 

[THE SHRINK]

Dante,

Please LISTEN to your Son and let us know who HE likes...

I am dead serious...arty:

I'm putting masking tape over any headline or article that has any mention of Horse Racing. My Monitor is completely covered already ! I have the " Derby doldrums "
:monsters- :sad3:

 

[Labeeb]

I am going to make the bold predicition that the sun will rise in the East and set in the West.

Now that THAT TO THE BANK BABY!!!

 

[WharfRat+]

Closing Argument was the most impressive horse in the race hands down. He raced 3 wide, w/in 3 legnths of the pace the entire race.

Every horse that was near him for most of the race finished in the bottom 10.

It was a monster effort.

I agree with your analysis about how well Closing Argument ran. But, one has GOT to strongly consider BELLY ROAD who got sucked into those fast fractions and still showed that he had something in the stretch...

BELLAMY ROAD should and will go off as the Favorite, imho...

THE SHRINK

 

[JudgeWapner]

Shrink, agreed.

 

[Labeeb]

BELLAMY ROAD should and will go off as the Favorite, imho...

You mean we get another chance to take a crack at a horse that so far is a one trick pony and a one race wonder in a big public race? Sounds too good to be true.

 

[JudgeWapner]

The best horse usually wins the Preakness, not sure who that is right now.
