The Derby and The Preakness!

the Preakness took on a decidedly ridiculous tone immediately...that idiot Borel on 6, and next idiot Allan Garcia on 4 made opposite turns from the gate an absolutely smashed, sandwiched Bayern the #5.  that immediately eliminated the expected speed duel and ended Bayerns potential to lead to the wire.

Borel on that idiot Ria Antonia horse that had no chance in the race, continued to bother Bayern into the backstretch.  then SI #8 cutting to the rail also made contact with Bayern.

without the much bettter bayern on his heels, SI let Pablo D M go to the lead and coasted in the clear position he had achieved into the race and went with CC as he made his move but was no match..which was certain from the start.  if there was a horse that was bound to fade it it was SI

Won any money ?

nothing to crow about

Yesterday's Preakness column: Cali Chrome keeps rolling to the cusp of history, but had to work harder for this one http://yhoo.it/1mGtu1s

I had 35 dollah in my HPI account and I could not see how to make money from the race.  I did not figure ROC would come second.  yet SI came third...

so I say what is the most possible closer if the speed really got into a duel....and that would be Dyanamic Impact with that great pedigree of his.

still DI was unlikely but at 12 to 1 some people were thinking in that manner anyway.  12 to 1 means there is money on that option..not such a great long shot.

so I put 2 dollars across on #1.  at 12 to 1 even if he shows I get a decent mutuel.  but Borel and Allan Garcia went in the wrong directions out of the gate

Nasal strip ban could end California Chrome’s 6-race winning streak. http://cnn.it/1qNKDdS

California Chrome can use nasal strip in Belmont Stakes, race officials say

I am not impressed with Chrome . He is a ordinary horse .
He will not finish in the top 5 on the grueling Belmont
