Treading Lightly in Another Watered-Down Preakness

Looks like we have another watered-down Preakness field and if we are looking at this objectively, it is not a great betting race. Muth was the ML favorite and he is SCRATCHED. Along with his defection, the pace should be slower. The only speed horses left in the field are the Baffert horse, Imagination, and […]

Preakness Picks & Full Undercard Analysis

Divining Rod Could be Preakness Spoiler

On paper, this year’s Preakness looks pretty formful as American Pharoah scared away a lot of the local competition and we are left with a field of 8. Pharoah is 4 to 5 on the M/L and will probably be bet down lower than that come post time. While most handicappers are concerned with the […]

2011 Preakness Analysis

Whitey Preakness Analysis Given the fact that my Derby picks will go down in history as the worst picks ever and the fact that I haven’t had much time to cap the Preakness due to work demands, I’m demoting myself in the batting order and will Gave Dave Halpren center stage for this blog entry. […]
