The Preakness

won both the triactor and superfecta.....

tri cost 22 dollars to win 70

super cost 96 to win 424.00

it was simple this time so the prices were low.

2012 (137th) Preakness Stakes (Full Race, Great Quality)

Great job there , Mapoui ..

Looks like we have a Triple Crown Winner :

I'll have Another .......

Cheers !  :cool:

  There won't be a triple crown winner , the winner of the first 2 races or even the second place horse can go longer than one and a quarter mile . The Belmont is a gruelling one and a half  mile

well I donk know kwami.....

Bodemeister has the pedigree to do the mile and a half and more..so does the the double crown winner so far. 

I'll have another is the likely winner again unless there is a sooprise entrant who can beat him.

I dont know of any other horse who looms apart form the entrants in the Derby and Preakness.  and he beat the all already..easily.

thats a real good horse man.  he will have to be tired or a sooprise entrant to get beat.  we likely have our first tripe crown winner since seatlle slew

Last triple crown winner was Affirmed .. he beat Alydar in all three legs of the triple crown by less than one and  a half lengths combined  .  The battle between these two is remenicent of those two

memory fails me Maps but  I seem to  recall  that Spectacular bid won the triple crown the year before seattle Slew, am I correct?

above is the pedigree profile of Bodemeister.  he comes out of the Native Dancer line and on thatside he has some real nice sires in there.  but the key is his direct sire Empire Maker, a Belmont winner some 6 years ago.

Empire Maker is transferring his genes as sire and commands a nice fee in the breeding shed.

but if you go into the lines of transmission into his mother as well you will see some dymamite horse that can run all day long.

his mothers line is Nothern Dancer the canadian great, from Neartic.  but alo in there are 2 bold ruler lines...Seattle Slew and Secretariat..ony the 2 greatest race horses ever.

then Roberto  a great sire.there is Le Fableux a great distance influence.  that is what the P in brackets by his name means. 

any horse in that line with P or S or both in brackets means distance pedigree and sire influence of a dominant charcter.  those hoses are labled the dominant sires in the breed.

B, C and I  in brackets are also dominant characteristics and sires but for speed and intermediate distances.

Bodemeister has one of the best peridgrees I have ever seen.  ask anybody who knows.  he appares to have an even better pedigree for the mile and a half than I'll Have  Another.

but that horse has the best his line can offer and its almost the same line on top as Bodemeister

probably...I too not up to date on those dates.  what is important is we have'nt had one since those 2 I believe
