7 horse field now that #8 (FIrst Mission) scratched with an injury.

Hard to find many value plays today, unless you think one of the mid priced closers can finish ITM. On top of that , I don't think the pace will be that fast.

If I had to pick ...

Top 3 as they finish ...

#1 National Treasure
# 3 Mage
#5 Red Route One

What say you ?
I’m all in on the 7  
Earl the goat : 5/20/2023 8:17 am : link
Blazing sevens and Irad Ortiz

I don’t think Mage finishes in the money

I am going to be adding some exotics with Blazing Sevens  
TommytheElephant : 5/20/2023 8:27 am : link
Because there will be underlay value if it's Mage and National Treasure at the top of the tickets.

I would be very surprised if National Treasure doesn't finish ITM baring a catastrophe
Blazing 7s to win

Perform to place.


You heard it here first….now go ahead and make some money on the exacta.
Perform is such a wild card  
TommytheElephant : 5/20/2023 10:36 am : link
I have no idea why he's here
6 races to break maiden and that was only 2 races ago

Aren’t you the same guy who said there is no way Mage can win the Derby?
No I never said that  
TommytheElephant : 5/20/2023 10:47 am : link
I also didn't say Perform can't finish ITM or even win

It is just puzzling why Mcgaughey is racing him.
Another thing, Mcgaughey got him back after being reclaimed.

I am going to be adding him in some exotics because there is just no value in a 1/3 or 3/1 finish

Yes, you are the first to name Blazing 7s but I gave you the exacta naming Perform to come in 2nd.
A few names  
Pete in MD : 5/20/2023 6:35 pm : link
that resonate with me.

-Coffee with Chris- My mom's name, but she drinks tea.

-ChaseTheChaos - my middle name (Chase, of course, but Chaos would be a badass middle name.)

Red Route One - A University of Maryland Reference, they wear red and the campus is on Route 1.
Odell  
Pete in MD : 5/20/2023 6:49 pm : link
is doing the "Riders Up" thing.
It’s a shame  
Earl the goat : 5/20/2023 6:51 pm : link
That a jerk like Odell is involved in Preakness

I got a feeling.

Based on absolutely nothing.

called the winner.
Thought the 7 was going to take it  
Earl the goat : 5/20/2023 7:11 pm : link
But the half at 49 was too slow.

Nice race


Fresh horse will win the Belmont

Your horse would not concede to Earl and my horse…..
The pace charts were pretty accurate this time around

… and Secretariat….is last again as they move into the first turn…
They’re into the turn, Ecole Etage has it by two lengths
Torsion is second by a length, and then Sham third
Sham under an easy hold right now…
But here comes Secretariat! ...he’s moving fast…and he’s going to the outside…
He’s going for the lead and it is RIGHT NOW he’s looking for it!
Ronny Turcotte sends him alongside Ecole Etage
Here we have it…
Ecole Etage is the leader but Secretariat is right alongside
Then still further back that is Sham going to the outside in third…

Here comes Sham second on the outside now
Now it’s Secretariat the leader by a length and a half
With Sham moving into second
And it looks like Ecole Etage has had it, dropping back in third…

They’re on the turn and Here’s the race folks…
Secretariat is trying to hold it and Sham is driving to get him
These two are beginning to open a few lengths as Our Native settles into third…
Head of the stretch…Secretariat Two and a half…
Sham under a strong left handed whip…
…and he’s beginning to make his run now…
But it’s still Secretariat holding on…
Secretariat by two lengths…
Sham driving second…
There’s a strong left handed whip again by Pincay…
He goes to it time and time again…
But Ronny Turcotte has his whip put away
AND SECRETARIAT HAS HIM PUT AWAY!
He’s beginning to draw away!
It is Secretariat!…he’s coming to the wire..
He wins it by 2 1/2 almost 3!
