The 2017 Preakness

I will not bet because I don't like the payouts. If I did bet it would be a superfecta as follows: the 4 or 5 or 9 to win; the 2,3,4,5,6,9. or 10 to place; the 2,3,4,5,6, 9, or 10 to show; & the 2,3,4,5,6,9, or 10 in 4th position. $1 bet = $360. If it wins it probably will not pay over $500.

Hi Crabneesh. I won't bet either, but I would only bet if I could accurately predict the future. I can't.

 

Classic Empire for The WIN that is my call.

CLOUD COMPUTING For The Win ! GNARLY !

Good thing I didn't go to the track. 2,5,8,9. What an upset. Superfecta paid $8,162.80.

Great fucking race.    Dreaming just crashed and burned.    

Not sure how I feel about these horses staggering their races so they have a better chance to win.    What American Pharaoh did was impressive in 2015.   They are already talking about Cloud Computing not running in the Belmont.    So skips Derby, Wins Preakness and may skip Belmont because presumably if the horse fails it knocks down potential future mating fees.  

Not sure if I'd want them to require horses to run all three races or not (obviously field size would be one issue) but it seems like it determine the strongest horse better.
