Draynay: Looks good. You are certainly putting a lot of faith on Bear Now. This is not how I would normally play, but because this is a head-to-head contest and all I have to do is beat you, my strategy has differed. Here are my picks:

Race 3: $40 WPS 7 = $120

$5 EX 3,7/all = $60

Race 4: $40 win 9 = $40

$2 EX box 9/all = $40

Race 6: $100 show 3 = $100

Race 8: $14 win 2 = $14

$1 EX Box 2,5,6,12 = $12

Race 12: $1 tri 7/all/all = $110

Yes, I can see BB wiring this race and if he doesn't, in honor of Draynay failing to list the immortal Buckpasser on his all-time list (and ironically, it was quarter cracks like BB's which kept Buck off the Triple Crown Trail in 1966), there goes two of Buck's Boys, Racecar Rhapsody and Stevil, flying down the Preakness stretch, and please throw in H.G. Motion's Icabad Crane (with Buck twice in the top of the pedigree) in the bottom of your exotics-- unlike my other H.G. Motion-trained buddy and 19th place finisher in the Derby, Adriano, at least this guy has shown he likes the Old Hilltop surface in winning the Tesio. As for Adriano, he picks up where Showing Up got started in 2006, by winning the Colonial Turf Cup come June? "My Old Kentucky Home" a nice Stephen Foster tune, but it's the U.S. Naval Academy Glee Club singing the Confederate rabble lyrics of "Maryland My Maryland" before the running of the Preakness which places the lump in this throat.

Lol...not this year but next year I will be at the Spa opening day.

Ok Jason here is how I am going to spend my 500 bucks. I am going for the gusto....

10 dollar pick 6 (7th race-12th)

5/2,12/8/4,6/4/7 = 40.00

20 dollar pick 4 (9th - 12th)

8/4,6/4/7 = 40.00

400 dollar double (11th-12th)

4/7 Bear Now and Big Brown

10 dollar Super 12th race

7/4/2,8 = 20.00

There you go .. there is my 500 bucks... I like Yankee Bravo to finish about 10 lengths behind Big Brown... Good Luck !

Draynay: No excuse not to go to Saratoga. Take a weekend off from your Vegas partying and get to the Spa!! lol

My first Derby was in 1969. I have been a fan ever since. The only major track I have yet to visit is Saratoga. My five favorite horses ...Native Dancer, Majestic Prince, Secretariat, Spectacular Bid, and Big Brown. I know an athlete when I see one and Big Brown is very special.

Draynay what's your background in regards to horse racing? Just curious.

re: Preakness Picks

draynay — Fri, 16 May 2008 19:58:47 GMT

There is no reason not to go the lead and run these second class citizens into the ground. So Wanda... are you telling me Curlin would meet Big Brown at Santa Anita ? Lol... I hope it happens I would love to cash another easy BB ticket.

Dutrow just went on record as saying he also doesnt think there is much speed in the race and BB might go right to the front.

Wanda — Fri, 16 May 2008 19:25:04 GMT

Just had a moment to respond. Jason,that made me laugh out loud! Thanks for the giggle.I'm still going to bet Riley Tucker PL,SHOW.The more I go over his race record the more I see him up there for a minor piece of the purse.He seems to run on any surface and trys his guts out every time.One other thing,fast times in a horse race happen when the first 3/8 and the last 3/8 are run quick Any horse that gets an easy front will back up to go an easy 3/8.Any good rider will only use that speed if he has to.If BB can get an easy front,KD will sit chilly till he has to use him if at all.So I disagree with Draynay they will not run all that fast. If the horse can get the job done easy,there won't be any track record.

With Behindatthebar out, I am now going to use Macho Again in his place.

Youre right Wanda. Draynay is living in a Big Brown fantasyland. Asmussen isnt ducking anyone.

Rivercitysmitty: I like your philosophy. Not a bad way to attack the race.

Can`t see anyone beating Big Brown, but can`t bet him at 2-5 either. Looks like a good spot to make some small exacta boxes on others and a few dollar tri boxes. Then kick back and drink a few Blue Moons and watch the race knowing the odds are against me winning anything. I`ll have Yankee Bravo, Racecar Rhap., Riley T and a few others in combos and expect to lose my 40 or 50 bucks, but hey, ya never know.
