Black Eyed Susan / Preakness double

[fiveteamer]

Ok boys, making a pick here. I gave you homos a 6/1 shot in the Kentucky Oaks and now we are back for round two

In the Preakness we like the #2 Hot Summer

This race seems to be loaded with a bunch of late runners. The switch to Dominguez is a huge positive. Ramon can dictate the pace here and nobody knows how to win a race in Maryland like Ramon. She should have enough left in the tank for the stretch.

As for the Preakness we are just going to try and beat Animal Kingdom. The colt looked great in the Derby, kicked in real nice down the stretch, not to mention he is still fresh as this is his only 5th start of the year. Tempting to go heavy on a straight double, but it is probably going to pay $13 so we will try for a few long shots in the Preakness.

We are going to go with #1 Astrology, $3 King Congie and #6 Sway Away

$20 DD 2/1,3,6 = $60

Common one time

It's like a plague, this "we" thing is spreading like some kind of disease.

Good luck with the horse Fiver.

There are terms you need to familiarize yourself if you want to fit in around here wally boy

"we"
"common"
"one time"
"drugs"
"meatball"

You forgot HUGH but like the rest of the list I'll continue to be the oddball I guess. I don't do well trying to conform.

 

[fiveteamer]

Oh yeah, HUGH is hugh around here, no doubt.

Posts 9 and further out hasn't correlated to winning often and the 3 favs are right there. Fiver, any significance to these numbers IYO or just the fact that not many good horses got those posts?

Leparoux pushed our filly to a 1:10 3/4 and she folded down the stretch.
