NFT: Preakness

Canton : 5/21/2016 5:38 pm
What are Nyquist's chances of winning it, thus giving us another horse, with a chance at the triple crown?

On NBC right now..

I'm not the biggest horse racing fan but from what I've read and seen it seems like he has a pretty good shot to bring it to the Belmont with the triple crown on the line, his Kentucky derby was fast.


I saw that two horses already died at the Preakness today?
he is now the favorite

Sad day at the Preakness  
Steve in South Jersey : 5/21/2016 5:45 pm : link
2 horses have died.

Homeboykris had a heart attack and died after winning the first race.

Pramedya fractured a cannon bone and was put to rest.

That is really sad.
Nyquist should win today, but....

I don't know how it does in mud. Exaggerator scares me more in Belmont.
$10 on 60-1 odds for "Amazing Speed" to win

And $10 on 40-1 odds for "Collected" to win that's a $400 or $600 payout if there ends up being an upset. Odds are to probably for Nyquist, the payout is peanuts. Gotta love the OTB on race day lines are nuts.

Lol, I just said those exact words.
I heard the announcer say someone bet $80k on Stradivarius

Wow an 8-1 shot. Somebody thinks they know something
Yeah he knows something  
B in ALB : 5/21/2016 6:52 pm : link
That's why he didn't end up betting.
No

triple crown.
Macy_pegram old have to think the slop did him in  
Canton : 5/21/2016 7:08 pm : link
He never ran a race in that before.
You have to think*

Desormaux ran a great race. Gueitterez was awful!

Nice to see him bring one home ahead of Nyquist finally. He was given a truly great ride by Desormeaux on a sloppy track.
Damn...  
Chris in Philly : 5/21/2016 8:31 pm : link
Pramedya was owned by the same folks who owned Barbaro. They may want to avoid the Preakness from now on.
Desormeaux with one of the all-time great rides

Not often a horse trapped on the rail 6+ lengths back wins the preakness

Made all kinds of money today. Aw yeah.
Think they used up Nyquist too fast.  
Giant John : 5/21/2016 10:29 pm : link
I'll tell you this Nyquest has no chance given the distance of the Belmont. Was apparent at the Derby that he would have trouble with longer distance.

Is owned by a family I know here in my town in Texas
I agree  
5BowlsSoon : 5/21/2016 10:44 pm : link
Exaggerator ran a better race. Wasn't so far off the pace and I was concerned Nyquist started up much too fast early on and perhaps was spent, especially in the mud.

winoguy : 5/22/2016 10:45 am : link
I had the triple!
Nyquist out of the belmont  
dep026 : 5/24/2016 2:02 pm : link
with a high blood count.

Still should be a pretty good betting race since most of the money will go to exaggerator.
