@theTDN @FanDuel_Racing @PreaknessStakes @andie_biancone @johnennis35 @Three_Chimneys Looks like he could do a backflip! What…too soon?

GI @PreaknessStakes contender GREAT WHITE (Volatile) was feeling good this morning, ridden by @andie_biancone 🦈 Trainer @johnennis35 said when he’s acting like this, the gelding is saying he’s ready to run.

@RacingDFS @CraigMilkowski “just an opportunistic hit job”

@CraigMilkowski cause it’s “new” to the general public. if they ran 10th and 11th in the Derby, this wouldn’t be a story. just an opportunistic hit job

Why is everyone acting like the Ortiz allegations are new?

@HorseToWatch He and Napolean Solo both…hard pass on both for me. Maybe NS can hang on for fourth? If they beat me, so be it.

Taj Mahal has looked a little more settled as the week has progressed. But still getting the vibe that he's a horse you probably don't want to try and rate too much.

Watching some of the morning training video from Laurel is making me much less confident that Taj Mahal is mentally prepared for the task at hand.

@FTTFGEOS7 Funny, folks getting upset because they REALLY want you to have Taj Mahal as your top horse

Happy to make @LaurelPark the 67th track I've visited! #loveitlive google.com/maps/d/u/0/edi…

According to Preakness Twitter, a field loaded with speed horses is somehow going to produce a pace so slow they may need a track maintenance break midway down the backstretch. The projected pace has gone from ‘potential meltdown’ to ‘Sunday church procession’ in about 24 hours.

@EJXD2 @KentuckyDerby Pretty sure I paid that for those exact seats

These seats would be $2,000 @KentuckyDerby

Top Long-shot - Preakness 🦀 If he runs back to this 8.5f race on March 7 👇🏼he has a great opportunity to make some noise here and at these odds, a must play for me. 1F: 55.76 fps 2F: 53.70 3F: 53.11 EP: 55.05 ???

@stet_dot_net Perhaps not but will you still bet it?

When I say “I’m not excited about the Preakness” it’s not because the derby winner isn’t there. It’s not because it’s being run at laurel. It’s not because other sports are on tv. It’s because it just not exciting. It’s a participation trophy for a circuit that’s long dead.

@Zipseatthetrack Say some nice things about Taj Mahal or something 😂

@DerbySuperfecta Is the jinx in?

IRON HONOR, who lost the Wood Memorial in his third career start, has a similar form pattern as Chad Brown’s two Preakness winners. Both Cloud Computing and Early Voting won in Maryland after losing the Wood Memorial in their third career start.

@Zipseatthetrack No jinx, but lower odds perhaps

@EJXD2 I’ve got Pastrami ahead of Corned Beef underneath

Top five deli meats 5. Pastrami 4. Capicola 3. Corned beef 2. Sopressata 1. Prosciutto

@VinnysCorner1 Kirk Gibson…with one bad leg, of course

It’s Game 7 of the World Series, bases loaded, 2 outs, tie game, in the bottom of the 9th. You can choose any batter in baseball in their prime to get you a hit… WHO DO YOU CHOOSE?

@TrackPhantom @drshillito You don’t have $38 million in the ex/tri/super pools in the 7th at Mountaineer tonight though, so there is that 🤷🏻‍♂️

@drshillito So is the 7th at Mountaineer Park tonight.

You can kick around the Preakness all you want this year, but one thing you can't deny, it's a fascinating handicapping puzzle and lucrative wagering affair.
