Time to make the host happy and talk figures. Plus, for those that still want to take a shot at Nyquist in the Preakness, there is the Black Eyed Susans / Preakness double.
Quick question for handicappers out there regarding Go Maggie vs Land Over Sea.
Which filly do you prefer in the Preakness.
1. Go Maggie, only having 3 starts, having paired her 5 with a troubled trip in the Oaks. A horse that likes to run near the lead got shut off at the start and didn\'t sulk, instead came with a late run, not threatening the winner, but pretty close with the next group.
2. Land Over Sea, now having paired her 3 in the Oaks, could be set for a forward move. Already has number power in her favor.
I realize there are others in the race and have to look at their sheets when the data comes out, but the top two choices are the ones above and it appears to me to be an interesting handicapping choice with two fillies likely to go off at roughly the same odds. The former has raced less, in theory has more upside and earned her pair up under adverse conditions last time. That said, coming back on 2 weeks for a filly with less experience is not a good thing. The latter is less likely to have significant short term upside but has number power in her favor going into the race.
Thoughts?
